Today’s fluff died when you started walking
Links between Napoli and Alejandro Garnacho continue to grow: multiple papers in Italy report that Giovanni Manna, Napoli’s sporting director, met the player’s agents for dinner in Barcelona earlier this week after Antonio Conte made the Manchester United forward his top priority for this transfer window.
It seems the two parties agreed the basic details of a contract, with rumours suggesting that Manna is offering a five-year deal which would see the Argentinian double his wages, which currently work out at approximately €1.5m (£1.26m) after tax. The only stumbling block – and it is a giant, €80m-sized stumbling block – is United’s asking price: the Gazzetta dello Sport says Napoli are “pushing for a substantial discount” and “ready to put €45m on the table, bonuses included” – but also that they have other options, including Liverpool’s Federico Chiesa and United’s own Marcus Rashford.
