The name Alejandro Garnacho is one of the most talked-about during this winter transfer market. The Manchester United winger is not in the plans of coach Rubén Amorim, and the club is looking for a way out for him. The player wants to have playing time and be a protagonist, so he is pushing to find a new team this January.
Since the rumors about his departure began, Atlético de Madrid has been linked with Garnacho's name. It is known that the rojiblanco club is looking, although not as a priority, for a winger who can break through defenses with his dribbling skills. This is why from England, the name of the Spanish-Argentine forward was placed in the orbit of the rojiblanco club.
Napoli Goes All in
From the beginning of the winter market, the team that has shown the most interest in Alejandro Garnacho is Napoli. The team coached by Conte is in the midst of a battle for Serie A, as they are currently leaders, with a three-point advantage over Inter Milan. After the recent departure of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the historic Italian club needs a new winger.
According to the famous media outlet Corriere dello Sport, Napoli's sporting director is going to meet with Manchester United. The Italians would be willing to pay 60 million euros for Alejandro Garnacho to take him out of England. This makes the operation likely to close in the coming hours, as Manchester was asking for that amount of money for their player.
From Madrid, They Rule It out
Despite many rumors from England linking Atlético de Madrid with Garnacho, it was never something real. The rojiblanco club is not going to make any major expenditures during this transfer market, so this operation was ruled out. Simeone needs a midfielder who can provide immediate performance, and that is the objective of the sports management.
Moreover, Garnacho, who was a rojiblanco youth player, didn't leave Atlético de Madrid on good terms. Everything points to his future being in Italy, moving away from the rumors linking him with Simeone's team. El Cholo has certain needs, and the Manchester United forward is not one of them.
