Manchester United have reportedly reduced their asking price for Alejandro Garnacho, drawing renewed interest from Atletico Madrid, Napoli, and Chelsea.
Initially, the Red Devils valued the Argentine winger at £75 million, but Sky Italia claims the club is now open to selling him for £55 million—a nearly 30% reduction.
Napoli, looking to replace Khvicha Kvaratskhelia after his transfer to PSG, will be particularly encouraged by the revised valuation. Despite having a £40 million bid turned down, the Serie A side remains determined to secure Garnacho before the transfer window closes on February 3.
Napoli’s sporting director Giovanni Manna recently acknowledged Garnacho’s importance to their plans, saying, “We are making some assessments.” Meanwhile, Garnacho’s agent was seen at Stamford Bridge during Chelsea’s 3-1 victory over Wolves, fueling speculation of the Blues’ interest in a potential deal.

“He is an important player, but he is not ours.
“We must not get carried away even if we know that an important player has left.
“A top player as the manager defined him and therefore the expectations are high.
“But we will do something on Napoli’s terms.”
Garnacho and his Manchester United team-mates will be back in action on Thursday, welcoming Scottish giants Rangers to Old Trafford for their penultimate Europa League group match.
