Manchester United have set their asking price for Alejandro Garnacho as Antonio Conte looks to bring the winger to Napoli. Garnacho has made more than 100 appearances for United since graduating from the club’s academy and making his first-team debut in April 2022.

At one point Garnacho was arguably the brightest talent at Old Trafford but his reputation has waned somewhat over the past 12 months. The Argentina international has started less than half of Manchester United’s Premier League games so far this season and fallen behind Amad Diallo in Ruben Amorim’s pecking order.

Despite his drop-off, Garnacho still has many admirers across Europe and has emerged as a target for Serie A leaders Napoli. Ex-Chelsea and Tottenham manager Conte recently confirmed Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was pushing to leave Napoli and, according to reports in Italy, he wants to sign Garnacho to replace the Georgian star.

Manchester United do not deem Garnacho to be ‘unsellable’ and want £50m to sell the 20-year-old. Kvaratskhelia, 23, has been linked with a move to the Premier League but is said to be closing in on a switch to French champions Paris Saint-Germain.
