Napoli are still interested in Manchester United attacker Alejandro Garnacho
Manchester United should be preparing for significant changes to their squad in the upcoming summer transfer window following a disappointing Premier League campaign. With European qualification now hinging solely on their chances of winning the UEFA Europa League, a prospect that remains uncertain, the club faces mounting pressure both on and off the pitch. Financial concerns are also looming large, and as a result, United may be open to offloading key players to generate much-needed funds.
One such player who could be on the move is Alejandro Garnacho. The Argentine winger is widely regarded as one of the club’s most promising young talents, but he has struggled to make a consistent impact this season. Garnacho was heavily linked with a move away during the 2025 winter transfer window, though United ultimately opted to retain him. However, the situation may shift this summer, with the club potentially forced to reconsider his future in order to balance the books.
A player in demand in Italy
According to CalcioNapoli24, Napoli remain interested in Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho and could reignite their pursuit in the upcoming summer transfer window. The Serie A club had shown strong interest in signing the Argentine during the January window, and with Antonio Conte now at the helm, that interest may be renewed.
Napoli would be willing to make a move if United are open to selling the youngster for a fee below €45 million. With Garnacho’s future at Old Trafford uncertain and United potentially needing to raise funds, a summer bid from the Italian side cannot be ruled out.
Garnacho has registered four goals in 30 Premier League appearances during the 2024/25 season, splitting his tally evenly between home and away fixtures with two goals each. His current goals-per-90 minutes stands at 0.2, while his total goal contributions (goals + assists) for the campaign amount to five, resulting in a goal involvement rate of 0.25 per 90.
Additionally, his non-penalty expected goals (npxG) per 90 minutes is 0.36, suggesting that while he’s getting into promising positions, his finishing hasn’t quite matched expectations. Overall, the stats paint a clear picture: Garnacho has struggled to consistently influence matches this season and hasn’t had the impact United fans had hoped for.

Garnacho is a sparkplug, raw, fearless, and brimming with talent. The 20-year-old winger has got pace to burn, a wicked left foot, and a flair that lifts Old Trafford. His directness and knack for cutting inside make him a constant threat, though he is still polishing his decision-making. Napoli’s lingering interest, with Antonio Conte eyeing a summer swoop after a January flirtation, is on the radar.
They would pounce if United let him go for under €45 million. That is a steal for his potential, and United should slam the door shut. Garnacho’s ceiling is sky-high, selling now would be shortsighted, especially with the squad needing youthful energy. Conte’s track record with wingers is tempting for Napoli, but United must hold firm, nurture him, and build around his promise. The Argentine is worth more than the quoted price already.
