After parting ways with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia during the winter transfer window, Napoli are in the market for a high-profile replacement. The Serie A club had reportedly been targeting Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho as a potential answer to the void left by the dynamic Georgian winger.
Kvaratskhelia made a major impact during his time in Italy, tallying 30 goals and 29 assists in 107 appearances. Filling that kind of production won’t be easy, but Napoli believe Garnacho has the talent to step up.
In recent months, Garnacho was heavily linked with a move to Naples, but as the summer window begins, that speculation has started to fade. Now, the club’s focus appears to be shifting toward another Manchester United winger—Jadon Sancho—as Napoli explore new options to boost their attack.
