The Manchester United winger has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford.
Manchester United have reportedly reduced their asking price for Alejandro Garnacho to £55m, opening the door for Napoli and possibly Chelsea to make a move for the 20-year-old winger.
Garnacho’s Manchester United future
The Italian club had a £40m bid rejected last week but are now reportedly considering a fresh offer for the winger, whose future at Old Trafford has been the subject of speculation in recent weeks.
Despite showing promise, he has struggled to cement a regular place in the starting lineup under manager Ruben Amorim, and there are also concerns about his suitability for the Portuguese manager’s preferred 3-4-3 formation.

The Red Devils are not actively looking to sell Garnacho but are reportedly open to offers due to financial fair play considerations.
His sale would count as pure profit under Premier League regulations, and Napoli are keen to sign Garnacho as a replacement for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who recently joined Paris Saint-Germain.
Chelsea’s interest
Chelsea have also been linked with a move for the young winger, who is reportedly now open to the idea of leaving Manchester, as per talkSPORT.

However, it is unlikely that Manchester United would sanction a transfer to a Premier League rival. A move abroad is considered more likely if the Argentina international leaves Old Trafford this month.
What next for Garnacho?
The winger could feature for Manchester United when they take on Rangers in Thursday’s Europa League action.
I speak for every Chelsea fan when i say Garnacho should never join the club.
