Man Utd are reportedly preparing to launch a Premier League transfer swoop this month amid Alejandro Garnacho exit talk.
Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho has reached an agreement with Napoli over a potential January transfer, according to reports in Italy. The 20-year-old’s future at Old Trafford has descended into uncertainty this month amid rising concerns about United’s compliance with the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).
Garnacho has continued his development during a second consecutive testing season for the Red Devils, already making 30 appearances in all competitions.
He is the club’s top scorer this season with eight goals but has had to settle for a role as an impact substitute since Ruben Amorim replaced Erik ten Hag.
Garnacho’s reduced status, with Amad leapfrogging the Argentine in the pecking order, has reportedly left him frustrated after enjoying such prominence under Ten Hag’s watch.
And it’s claimed that the United No. 17 has given the green light to a Serie A switch before the winter transfer deadline.
According to Calciomercato, Napoli have struck an agreement in principle with Garnacho after the club’s sporting director, Giovanni Manna, met his representatives in Barcelona this week.
Garnacho’s camp is said to have immediately made it clear that he is tempted by the prospect of working with Antonio Conte in Naples.
Il Mattino add that the agreement involves a five-year contract worth around £2.5million per year after tax, a slight decrease on the £2.6m he current pockets at United.
