Napoli has £ 45 million to spend on Jack Grealish or Alejandro Garnacho – but they will not both take.
The Italian champions laid down the law on Manchester Rivals City and United about deals for their banished wing players.
United wants £ 70 million for Garnacho, but still has to receive an offer for the 20-year-old Argentina International.
City will, however, be prepared to accept a reimbursement of approximately £ 45 million for Grealish, 29, who has chosen Pep Guardiola from his Club World Cup team.
Sunsport understands that Napoli would rather sign Grealish. But they know that Garnacho would be a better investment – because he is nine years younger.
Napoli would like to reunite Grealish with city legend Kevin De Bruyne, who drew a two-year-old deal on Thursday to end a trophy-loading for ten years at Etihad.
Grealish, who became the first £ 100 million player when he signed from Aston Villa in 2021, will desperately force his way to Thomas Tuchel's plans for next summer's world cup.
Tottenham and Everton were associated with a move, while a return to Villa could appeal.
However, it is unlikely that City would receive an offer of £ 45 million from a Premier League club – which means that a loan would be his only option to stay in England.
Prem Sides would probably not pay wages completely £ 230,000 a week.
Guardiola got him in important games at the end of the season, including for the 1-0 FA Cup Final Lower Nederte by Crystal Palace.
The Stadsbaas preferred to hand over the 19-year-old Claudio and to have his debut and to leave Grealish on the couch while his side desperately pursued a level in the final phase in Wembley.
It cost Graalise a place in Tuchel's team for the recent 1-0 World Cup-qualifying victory of England over Andorra and 3-1 friendly loss for Senegal.
Garnacho would rather stay in the Premier League, but the price tag of £ 70 million from United has postponed Vrijers.
Chelsea withdrew after he had shown interest in January.
The Argentinian winger was omitted from the starting line-up of Ruben Amorim for the last defeat of the Europa League by Tottenham and only continued as a late replacement.
Baas Amorim then told Garnacho to find a new club this summer.
In the meantime, Inter Milan have been performed their efforts to land the goal of United-Shy forward Rasmus Hojlund.
Inter are interested in following the 22-year-old to the San Siro on loan next season, with a view to a permanent deal in 2026.
United would now prefer the money, because they want to give the manager extra money to make changes.
Former Atalanta attacker Hojlund scored only four Prem objectives – ten in all competitions last season – and seemed too little trust towards the end.
Yet his shares remain high in Italy and Inter wants to bring him back to the Serie A – although they are reluctant to stomp the asking price of £ 38 million from United.
