After selling Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to PSG in the winter transfer window, Napoliare now looking for a big-name replacement. Reports suggest the Serie A side have set their sights on Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho to help fill the gap left by the Georgian winger.
Kvaratskhelia was a standout during his time in Italy, racking up 30 goals and 29 assists in 107 matches. Replacing that kind of output is no small task, but Napoli reportedlybelieve Garnacho has the talent and potential to take on the role.
According toFichajes, Garnacho’s future at Old Trafford is up in the air, and Napolihave already submitted an €80 million offer in hopes of bringing the Argentine to Serie A.
With Kvaratskelia gone and Victor Osimhen also linked with a move away, Napoliseem to be heading into a period of transition. Garnacho’s pace, energy, and attacking flair could make him a central piece of the club’s next era.
