Napoli are reportedly interested in signing a Red Devils winger as a replacement for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who is expected to join PSG.

Manchester United could be facing a battle to keep hold of young star Alejandro Garnacho, with Napoli reportedly keen on signing the winger in the January transfer window.

Could Garnacho join Napoli?

According to reports in Italy, Napoli manager Antonio Conte has identified Garnacho as his preferred target and has urged the club to make a move for the 20-year-old. 

The Partenopei are believed to have already made contact with the Premier League outfit, with a potential transfer fee of €50 million (£42 million) being discussed.

Garnacho has played commendably for Manchester United this season, scoring eight goals in 29 appearances. However, he has struggled for regular starts under new boss Ruben Amorim and could be tempted by a move to Serie A.

The Red Devils are reportedly reluctant to sell their talented wide attacker, but their financial situation could force them to consider any significant offers for the talented youngster.

A sale would also free up funds for potential reinforcements, with the club linked with PSG duo Nuno Mendes and Randal Kolo Muani.

What comes next for Napoli and Man Utd?

Napoli are next in Serie A action on Sunday (today) against Hellas Verona, while Manchester United face Arsenal in the FA Cup third round.
