Alejandro Garnacho is set to be the subject of a new transfer bid from Napoli, with the Serie A champions preparing to offer £45 million for the Manchester United winger.
What happened?
Napoli's interest in Alejandro Garnacho emerged during the January transfer window, but a deal was not reached due to Manchester United's high asking price.
The club had demanded as much as £60 million for the Argentina international, but are now willing to negotiate a lower fee.
Why it matters for Alejandro Garnacho
Alejandro Garnacho's future at Manchester United has been uncertain after he openly challenged manager Ruben Amorim over his limited involvement in the Europa League final defeat.
He has since been kept away from pre-season training while a buyer is found, with the club's financial difficulties weakening their negotiating stance.
What comes next?
Manchester United are still prepared to try and negotiate a significant fee for Alejandro Garnacho, who is among the most valuable assets in the squad.
The club are even thought to be willing to contribute to Garnacho's wages if it helps facilitate an exit, such is their desire to cash in on the player this summer.
Napoli's offer of £45 million is an increase on their previous bid of £40 million, which was made during the January transfer window.
The Red Devils are also open to selling other players, including Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Antony, and Tyrell Malacia, in order to raise funds for new signings.
The club are still chasing Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo and also have plans to sign a new goalkeeper, while a new striker is also thought to be on the agenda.
According to Tom Gott, an associate editor for SI FC, Manchester United are hopeful of raising over £100 million through the sales of unwanted players.
This could then be reinvested in the current squad, with the club looking to strengthen in several areas.
Alejandro Garnacho's potential departure is likely to have a significant impact on Manchester United's transfer plans, with the club needing to replace the Argentina international if he is sold.
The player's wage demands are also likely to be a factor in any potential deal, with Manchester United willing to contribute to his wages if it helps facilitate an exit.
As the transfer window continues to unfold, it remains to be seen whether Napoli's bid for Alejandro Garnacho will be successful.
The player's future is likely to be decided in the coming weeks, with Manchester United braced for a new bid from the Serie A champions.
