Man Utd reject opening Napoli bid for 20yo star

Manchester United have turned down an opening bid from Napoli to sign Alejandro Garnacho this winter, according to Daily Star.

The Serie A giants recently permitted the transfer of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to Paris Saint-Germain. Manager Antonio Conte is eyeing a replacement.

Conte has identified Garnacho as the prime target and the Naples outfit have made an opening bid in the region of £40 million for his services.

The proposal has been immediately rejected by the Red Devils. It is claimed that Garnacho won't be sold for anything less than £65 million.

Garnacho has been a regular starter for United in the last few games, but his agent is working behind the scenes to secure an exit from Old Trafford.

The 20-year-old is aware that he won't be a guaranteed starter in the long-term and he is prepared to move to the Italian top-flight with Napoli.

It remains to be seen whether Napoli make a renewed approach for him.
