Alejandro Garnacho is again the target of Napoli in the summer transfer window after Ruben Amorim made it clear that he has no future at Manchester United
The exit of Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United can be quickly sealed after a fight with Ruben Amorim at the end of the season. Garnacho was omitted from the team for United's 2-0 win over Aston Villa on the last day of the Premier League campaign.
The 20-year-old winger attracted interest from Napoli and Chelsea in the January transfer window. And after he had admitted his frustration that he was a bench for the last defeat of United's Europa League by Spurs, it seems that a summer movement is on the cards.
United has made each player available in the summer transfer window after a miserable campaign in which they finished in 15th place and did not qualify for the Champions League thanks to a defeat in Bilbao. Mirror Football understands that Ruben Amorim Garnacho has told that he is not coming up in his plans for next season – and United has already taken steps to sell the winger.
The i -paper reports that Napoli sports director Giovanni Manna will soon meet with the United officials to start the negotiation process about Garnacho. The Italian champions saw an £ 40 million offered in January and has been told that United appreciates the Argentina International with closer to £ 70 million.
It is understood that a compromise can be reached closer to £ 50 million, while Napoli is also trying to sign Kevin De Bruyne on a free transfer after his exit from Manchester City. Napoli secured the title under Antonio Conte, but is brace for a summer of change, with the ex-Chelsea boss going aside.
Garnacho's accident at United was clear on Sunday, with the Argentinian the only person who did not welcome the post-match address of Ruben Amorim for supporters.
Despite his situation, Garnacho will now have to follow the tour after the Manchester United season through Southeast Asia. “No, Garnacho is a player from Manchester United who is not in the team today. But he remains a player of Manchester United,” Amorim was on Sunday when he was asked if he had played his last game for the club.
“Everyone goes because we have to meet our fans and we have to give our fans on the other side of the world something.”

Speaking after the last defeat of the Europa League, Garnacho gave a brutal fair assessment of the season of United and his own feelings. “It's hard for everyone,” he said. “The season was S ***, who now both lost the final last night, and in the competition, where we have not defeated anyone, that is the truth.
“Until the final I played every round and today to play for 20 minutes … I don't know. I'm going to try to enjoy the summer and see what happens next.”
The winger is under contract with United until June 2028 and he contributed 11 goals and 10 assists in 58 games this season. His girlfriend Eva Garcia fed speculation about his future by writing 'Last Game' on Sunday with a crying emoji on social media.
