Napoli Chief Executive Delivers Verdict on Alejandro Garnacho Pursuit | OneFootball

Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna addressed the club’s rumored interest in Manchester United starlet Alejandro Garnacho. During an interview with DAZN via ESPN, Manna confirmed the Serie A pacesetters won’t overpay the Argentine winger despite desperately needing a new forward.

With Khvicha Kvaratskhelia gone to Paris Saint-Germain, Napoli must add to their attacking ranks to maintain the edge in an intense Scudetto race. Garnacho has emerged as a concrete target for the Partenopei, but Manna insists the club will stay within Financial Fair Play regulations at all costs.

“These are two names that are of interest to us, they are players we like, but they are not the only ones,” the Napoli executive said. “We are trying to evaluate a few things and looking at the opportunities, but we certainly will not pay prices that are outside the market value.

“We made this sale that unfortunately was necessary for what the player wanted and our dynamics. We will respect our parameters, not just for the transfer fee, but also the salary. We are evaluating a few situations, it would not be right to give our fans false hope, but we will certainly do what is best to improve the squad.“

Garnacho has a contract at Old Trafford until 2028. However, Napoli could lure him to Italy this winter after Ruben Amorim deemed him surplus to requirements at Man Utd. Meanwhile, they’re reportedly close to signing Karim Adeyemi from Borussia Dortmund, even though the young gun played on Saturday against Werder Bremen.
