Chelsea’s pursuit of Alejandro Garnacho has hit a major setback, as the Manchester United winger has reportedly agreed personal terms with Napoli.
However, the deal is far from done, as Napoli must still meet United’s transfer demands.
Garnacho to Napoli – The Latest Developments
- According to Nicolo Schira, Garnacho has agreed to a contract until 2029 with Napoli, with an option for an additional year.
- Napoli’s latest bid of €55M was rejected, as United hold out for a higher fee.
- Representatives from United are set to meet Napoli officials today to negotiate further.
What About Chelsea?
Chelsea remain interested in Garnacho, with Fabrizio Romano reporting that the Blues have made at least two enquiries since December.
On Monday night, Garnacho’s agency representatives were spotted at Stamford Bridge during Chelsea’s 3-1 win over Wolves, fueling speculation of a move to London.
Why is Garnacho Leaving United?
- The Argentine winger has struggled under new manager Ruben Amorim.
- He was dropped for the Manchester Derby and has since fallen down the pecking order.
- With just three goals and one assist in 21 league games, his role at United has diminished.
Could Spurs Hijack the Deal?
Tottenham are also monitoring the situation closely.
With Napoli struggling to meet United’s valuation, a late move from Chelsea or Spurs cannot be ruled out.
While Garnacho has agreed to personal terms with Napoli, his future remains uncertain.
If Napoli can’t meet United’s price, Chelsea or Spurs could swoop in at the last minute. The next 24 hours will be crucial in deciding his fate.
