Manchester United has placed a substantial £70 million price tag on winger Alejandro Garnacho, potentially complicating Napoli’s interest in signing the 20-year-old Argentine player. According to insider reports, this valuation significantly exceeds Garnacho’s current market value of €50 million, as estimated by Transfermarkt.
Garnacho, who joined Manchester United’s academy in 2020 from Atlético Madrid, has quickly risen through the ranks to become a prominent figure in the first team. The winger made 34 appearances for the club in all competitions last season, scoring 6 goals and providing 5 assists. He is also a regular contributor to Argentina’s under-20 squad, showcasing his potential on the international stage.
Napoli reportedly sees Garnacho as a possible replacement for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who is rumoured to be nearing a move to Paris Saint-Germain. However, the steep asking price may deter the Italian club, given its financial strategy.
At just 20 years old, Garnacho’s explosive pace and technical skill have earned him comparisons to some of football’s brightest young talents. Notably, he became one of the youngest players in Manchester United’s history to score a goal in the Premier League, further solidifying his reputation as a rising star.
With his contract running until 2028, Garnacho remains a key figure in Manchester United’s long-term plans, allowing the club to maintain a strong negotiating position. As Napoli explores alternative options, it is unclear whether any agreement will be reached in the current transfer window.
