Manchester United are hoping Napoli will receive encouragement from Alejandro Garnacho’s entourage to make a second move, according to reports.
There was speculation last month that if the Red Devils wanted to make meaningful additions in the January transfer window, they would first have to sell players.
Garnacho, Koby Mainu and Marcus Rashford could therefore leave Old Trafford, with the latter admitting he is ready for a “new challenge” away from Man Utd. .
Garnacho has attracted strong interest from Napoli, with BBC Sport confirming on Friday that Man United had “turned down an approach” from the Serie A side.
The report adds:
“The Serie A side have made 20-year-old Garnacho their number one target and plan to use the funds raised from Hviča Kvaratschelia’s impending move to Paris Saint-Germain.”
“However, they failed in their first approach against Garnacho, significantly underestimating the Red Devils on the Argentine international.
“The exact content of the communication is unknown, but it is believed that the amount referred to by Napoli was around £40 million.”

And now GiveMeSport claims that Manchester United “will only decide to acquire him permanently if Alejandro Garnacho’s stance is to push for a move to Italian club Napoli.” are.
The report adds:
“Our sources say the Red Devils will not accept offers below £50m and are determined to maintain control of the situation, in stark contrast to their response to Marcus Rashford. , have indicated their intention to play the 20-year-old, but we are waiting to see how both the player and Napoli will deal with the situation from here.
“Amorim believes in his own qualities despite not having a clear tactical role, but is confident that Garnacho has the dedication and application he needs to secure his long-term future at Old Trafford.” Questions remain as to whether we are prepared.”
“One of the key dynamics in this story is the role of the player and his camp. Sources told GMS that Napoli’s initial approach was made after encouragement from someone close to him. If true, this could indicate that Garnacho is open to a move, and Manchester United will be keen to ensure that any departure is considered his decision and not the club’s. I guess.”
GiveMeSport continues:
“On Napoli’s side, it is hoped that he will return with an improved offer. If Garnacho demands a transfer fee of more than £50 million, Manchester United will start considering a deal. Ideally. Technically, they would like to reach the £60 million mark before giving the green light for a move, but they would not want to keep a player who does not have the same focus as the rest of the squad. ”
