With just two weeks remaining in the January transfer window, Manchester United is expected to be one of the busiest clubs in England, according to UnitedinFocus.
The club is set to complete several transfers, including both incoming and outgoing moves. However, to meet the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability (PSR) regulations, United must prioritize player sales before making any new signings.
While Marcus Rashford’s future remains uncertain, the primary focus is on Alejandro Garnacho, who appears to be edging closer to leaving Old Trafford.
A potential sale of the young Argentine would bring a significant profit to the club, which is crucial as Sir Jim Ratcliffe works to address Manchester United’s previous financial difficulties.
Garnacho has drawn interest from several domestic and international clubs. Chelsea has been linked with the winger, but Serie A’s Napoli is currently leading the race.
Recent reports indicate that Garnacho has already agreed to personal terms with Napoli. The 20-year-old is said to be willing to sign a five-year contract worth £3.4 million annually.
However, the two clubs remain in disagreement over the transfer fee, with Napoli’s initial offer of £42 million falling short of United’s asking price of £50 million. Negotiations are ongoing, and it seems likely that an agreement will be reached soon.
If the deal goes through, it would mark a significant shift for Manchester United, who may have to part with one of their promising young talents to a club with fewer league titles than themselves.
