Alejandro Garnacho Sky-High Salary Demands Sink Napoli Deal as United Retain Rising Star

Manchester United considered selling their rising star Alejandro Garnacho to Napoli after clearing Antony and Rashford from the team for loans during the winter of 2025

The proposed transfer between Manchester United and Napoli failed due to multiple undisclosed factors which Italian media outlets described.

Managing director Giovanni Manna from Napoli disclosed that prize Argentine player Alejandro Garnacho requested an impossible wage to join the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.

The English club pays the promising football winger £50,000 weekly at Old Trafford. The Italian media source Corriere dello Sport claimed Garnacho sought approximately 160,000 pounds before tax which equated to 10 million euros annually.

The party rejected this enormous offer as it created a substantial obstacle which obstructed the negotiation process.

Alejandro Garnacho Stays At Manchester United

Antonio Conte intensified Napoli’s interest in Garnacho because he intended for the striker to take over from Kvaratskhelia’s position.

The negotiations between Manchester United and the club fell through because the club refused to consider both the steep player salary requests alongside the high transfer fee demands from Manchester United.

The inability of United to sell Garnacho may turn out to be advantageous for both parties in the future. Due to his impressive track record at Manchester United, the youngster stands to become a vital team member for the future of the club.

Under the leadership of Ruben Amorim, the present scenario demands immediate action because of the existing management challenges.

The matter has become urgent for Manchester United which experienced a disappointing season start through seven home Premier League defeats in their initial seven home games.

The failure to deliver positive results soon would increase pressure on Amorim, which could lead to his termination at the campaign’s end.

Garnacho has enjoyed continued first-team appearances for United since the start of Amorim’s managing era even though many clubs linked him for a transfer.

Manchester United remains focused on keeping this talented prospect who brings both offensive flairs through speed and presents a solid long-term attack-building potential.

All attention will focus on Garnacho throughout the season to determine whether he will meet the high expectations United fans have for him at Old Trafford.
