As Khvicha Kvaratskhelia approaches leaving the Serie A team, Man Utd has reportedly received a first bid from Napoli for Alejandro Garnacho's services.
Rumor has it that in an attempt to balance Ruben Amorim's team, the Red Devils are open to hearing bids for nearly every player during the January transfer window.
While Man Utd players Kobbie Mainoo, Garnacho, and others have been linked to transfers abroad, Marcus Rashford has stated that he is prepared to find a "new challenge" outside of Old Trafford.
Additionally, Antonio Conte, the manager of the Serie A team, has "selected" Manchester United winger Garnacho to replace Kvaratskhelia, who is expected to join Paris Saint-Germain from Napoli.
According to Laurens:
According to a source who spoke to ESPN, Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is getting close to joining Paris Saint-Germain, and the two teams will meet on Monday to finalize the agreement.
When Napoli completed their 33-year wait for the Scudetto in May 2023, the Georgia international was the best player in Serie A, and a source informed ESPN that the transaction is likely to be worth between €60 million ($61 million) and €65 million.
Laurens went on to say:
Kvaratskhelia and the Ligue 1 leaders have already reached a personal agreement for a five-year deal. His contract with Napoli expires in June 2027; the club requested an extension, but he declined.
According to Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla, Man Utd "asks for more" from the Serie A team, while Napoli "offers €40+5" for Garnacho.
With Kvaratskhelia "destined" for PSG and Napoli "having already offered 45 million euros (£38 million) (including bonuses) for the very talented 2004-born player," Garnacho has become their "big target" for the January transfer window.
The Pedulla asserts that "the valuation could drop" despite Manchester United's insistence on €60 million, and the journalist also exposes interest from Juventus.
Pedulla went on:
"There is an untold story that must be told: Juventus, captivated by Garnacho, has made inquiries about him. The plan was to try to sign him next summer, and they may be working on him in these weeks."
Paul Parker, a former Manchester United defender, doesn't think Garnacho "would be missed too much" if he were to depart during the winter transfer window. "If someone new were to come in, I don't think he holds the same as Mainoo," Parker said to Betfred of Garnacho.
Would that be how he would be missed? Personally, I would say no—not at all—and I don't think his absence would be greatly felt.
In any case, it seems that he is already searching for a move and will go as soon as he determines that a major international club will be superior to Manchester United. I believe he won't realize it won't be the same until he gets there. He will realize that his current situation is about as good as it gets and that he must give it his all.
