Alejandro Garnacho is now set to stay at Manchester United, as Napoli have reportedly found themselves an alternative.
The Partenopei have been searching the market for a new left winger after selling their top star Khvicha Kvaratskhselia to Napoli for €75 million ten days ago.
The Serie A leaders have thus set their sights on Garnacho whose status under Ruben Amorim appeared to be shaky in recent weeks. After all, the Argentine was omitted, alongside Marcus Rashford, from the matchday squad ahead of the Manchester Derby and had been struggling to break into the starting lineup since the arrival of the Portuguese tactician in November.
Therefore, the Premier League giants sat at the table with the Italian giants in the hopes of finding an agreement, and even dropped their asking price at one stage. Nevertheless, this wasn’t enough to bridge the gap between the two clubs, so the negotiations proved futile. Hence, Napoli resorted to other options, including Borussia Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi.
But according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, the management is now making important steps to sign Allan Saint-Maximin from Al-Ahli.
Alejandro Garnacho to Napoli is definitely off

The 27-year-old is a French winger who earned fame on the English shores during his time at Newcastle United between 2019 and 2023. This season, he has been playing his football on loan at Fenerbahce under Jose Mourinho’s watch. Nevertheless, Romano reveals that Al-Ahli and the Turkish giants are working on terminating the player’s loan stint.
So with Saint-Maximin apparently on his way to the Stadio Maradona, we can confidently rule out Garnacho’s move to Napoli.
This should be good news for Amorim who has been impressed by the 20-year-old in his most recent outings. Nevertheless, it remains to be seen if Chelsea will be looking to launch a late onslaught before Monday’s deadline.
You know it makes sense all this nonsense about reducing our asking price for Garnacho is just that why when his sale could mean pure profit would we reduce it as we know from the Woodward era a replacement wouldn’t come in at a reduced fee as we have seen as of old other clubs aren’t going to reduce their asking price
Gannacho Should be turned into a striker Incase Dorgu is brought. Hojjuland is doing nothing.
It would have made financial sense if United needed the “pure profit” towards PSR that selling Academy players generates that, in turn, would allow them to theoretically spend 3x the fee on new players…the problem being that, even if they’d received £50m-£60m for Garnacho, United haven’t got £150-£180m to spend on new players right now. In fact, unless the team wins the Europa League and gains entry into the ECL next season they probably still wouldn’t have enough to spend on the players they want/need in the Summer.
United should have brought in a goal scoring number 9 on a short term loan with no commitment to buy at the start of this window, now they’ve left it until the last couple of days when loaning clubs can name their price and see if anyone is foolish/desperate enough to swallow it…..a bit like United did with Garnacho.
Btw, if Rashford thinks he’s got mental health problems now, after the way he’s acted he will be at serious risk of losing his sanity altogether with what’s coming to him if he doesn’t leave in this window. It’s not just what he’s done, the fans will vent their years of frustration with the state of the club and take it out on him.
we can’t sale Garnacho to chelsea,let hope he get better in the final third.he have to start scoring
Two comments:
Garnacaho’s career development would have been better served with Conte at Napoli.
Rashford talks like an alcoholic that says “it’s not my fault that I have problems.”
The former saw the problem and worked to correct it through hard work and the latter saw no recognition of his problem.
There’s the difference.
