Napoli Stepping Up Talks With Manchester United Over Kvaratskhelia Replacement | OneFootball

After selling Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to PSG in the winter transfer window, Napoli are reportedly targeting a Manchester United standout as a replacement for the Georgian winger.

Kvaratskhelia left a big mark during his time in Serie A, racking up 30 goals and 29 assists across 107 appearances. Filling that void won’t be easy, but Napoli have their eyes on Alejandro Garnacho.

According to Fichajes, Garnacho’s future at Manchester United is uncertain this summer, and Napoli have already submitted an €80 million bid for the Argentine.

With Kvaratskhelia gone and Victor Osimhen also linked with a move away, Napoli are in the midst of a rebuild. Garnacho’s potential and attacking flair make him an appealing option to lead their next era.

According to the i Paper, Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna is expected to meet with Manchester United to discuss a potential move for Garnacho.

Transfer insider Graeme Bailey told The Chelsea Chronicle that Garnacho is among the wingers Chelsea are keeping an eye on, alongside Borussia Dortmund’s Jamie Gittens and Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams.

“Garnacho is very much still on Chelsea’s radar – they are looking for someone to operate from that left side and they have done work on a lot of names,” Bailey said. “I am told that the three at the top of their list are currently Jamie Gittens, Nico Williams and Garnacho. Williams is tough and to be honest I think as it stands is unlikely to come to England and if he does, am not sure Chelsea are top of his list.

“Gittens is different, we know Chelsea are working on him, we know they are in talks and trying to do something, but they are not alone with Arsenal also in the mix. And Chelsea are not set on one target and Garnacho is someone they like a lot, they tried to sign him in January.

“They know the player is keen on the move. And he is a huge talent, they think he would be a good fit. He seems to have been around forever but he is still just 20. Can you imagine a Garnacho, Palmer and Estevao trio behind their striker… Chelsea’s hierarchy clearly can.”
