Napoli intensifies efforts to sign Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United as a replacement for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, but United demands €60M amid interest from Juventus and Atletico Madrid.

Napoli's potential sale of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia appears contingent on securing Manchester United's young star Alejandro Garnacho. The Serie A leaders are adamant about not risking their title ambitions without finding a suitable replacement for their Georgian talisman.

Reports indicate that Antonio Conte sees the 20-year-old Garnacho as the ideal successor. However, negotiations with United have hit a roadblock. According to Italian transfer insider Alfredo Pedullà, Napoli submitted an offer of €45 million, including bonuses, but this was insufficient for the Premier League club, who are demanding €60 million.

The situation becomes even more complex as Garnacho's potential availability has attracted interest from other European giants. Juventus is reportedly eyeing a summer move for the Argentine, while Atletico Madrid, Garnacho’s boyhood club, is also monitoring the situation. Atletico's strong ties with the player, who left their academy for United at 16, give them an edge in the transfer race.

Napoli remains determined to land Garnacho, but time is ticking as the January transfer window nears its end.
