The interest of Napoli and Chelsea in Manchester United Forward Alejandro Garnacho is stuck.
Although communication lines have remained open with the Serie A side, there has been no movement for an improved offer, with the clubs 10 million euros apart in their valuations.
In the meantime, Chelsea has to formally register their interest at United, with the feeling that they weaken their time and wait for the possibility to stop.
There is a growing conviction that the player would rather stay in the Premier League, and if the side of Enzo Maresca takes a step for the 20-year-old, United would expect a higher fee from a Premier League rival.
United is relaxed because they are not desperate to sell Garnacho, and have always maintained that his departure would depend on the fact that there was an offer that they could not reject.
Ruben Amorim has been happy with the professionalism, application and adaptation of his tactical requirements of the Argentina international, especially defensive.
'Garnacho has shown the willingness to implement Amorim's requirements'
Analysis by Sky Sports News' Melissa Reddy:
Garnacho has shown the willingness to implement the requirements of Amorim. Game by Game We can see him adapting to the system and how he would fit. The problem is that United does not want to sell him actively, they are not in the financial position to reject a considerable amount for Garnacho.
Napoli is more concrete in the will of Garnacho because they have had discussions with United about signing him. Napoli does not want to go above 55m, but United wants 65 m.
The other problem that Napoli has is the alternative target, Karim Adeyemi, does not want to leave Dortmund. He only wants a summer movement. There is trust that a compromise can be reached between the two sides, while Chelsea awaits their time.
A sale of Garnacho would certainly arm the funds to be able to search both in the short and long term for players who work in the Amorim system. When Garnacho leaves, they should definitely bring in an attacker because they are left for a short time.
I know they have done a number of checks in Europe for an attacker. So when Garnacho goes, they have the money to do that.
Man Utd encloses £ 30 million Dorgu Move
Latest of Sky Sports News' Dharmesh Sheth:
Patrick Dorgu is expected to fly to Manchester on Wednesday after Manchester United had a deal agreed to value just under £ 30 million to sign the left back of the Lecce.
United binds all the paperwork and the player is waiting for the last green light to fly to the northwest for a medical one and to complete the move.
The agreed reimbursement is supposed to be £ 25.2 million plus £ 4.2 million in add-ons.
As Sky Sports News reported about the appointment of Amorim, left-wing-back is circled as the priority position and was the only transfer that would most likely happen in this window, regardless of the situation of the club.
Dorgu, 20, has made 53 performances for Lecce in the Serie A since he joined the Danish club Nordsjaelland in 2022 and was tucked off by Denmark four times.
