Napoli are reportedly emerging as the favourites for Manchester United attacker Alejandro Garnacho this summer.

Napoli are reportedly emerging as the favourites for Alejandro Garnacho, with Manchester United willing to let the Argentina international leave Old Trafford during this summer's transfer window.

Red Devils head coach Ruben Amorim has allegedly told Garnacho to find a new club this summer, with the 20-year-old not featuring in the plans of the Portuguese moving forward.

Garnacho has been a regular this season, making 58 appearances in all competitions, scoring 11 goals and registering 10 assists in the process, but there has been a fall-out following the Europa League final.

The attacker was named on the bench for the clash with Tottenham Hotspur last week, and his brother and agent Roberto Garnacho hit out at Amorim's decision after the clash in Spain.

"Working as no one else, helping every round, coming from two goals in the last two finals, just to be on the pitch for 19 mins and get thrown under the bus. Wowe hahahahahaha," Roberto Garnacho wrote on Instagram.

Garnacho was ultimately introduced in the 71st minute of the final, which Man United lost 1-0, and he was quoted as saying by AlbicelesteTalk after the match: "I played every round to help the team reach the final, and today I only got 20 minutes. I don't know. I will try to enjoy the summer and then see what happens."

Napoli 'emerge as favourites' for Garnacho

On Saturday, Amorim allegedly informed Garnacho that he is free to leave this summer, with Man United believed to want in the region of £60m for the forward, who arrived at Old Trafford from Atletico Madrid in 2022.

According to The Telegraph, Napoli are the favourites for Garnacho, with the Italian champions reigniting their interest, having been keen to sign him during the January transfer window.

Antonio Conte's side allegedly had at least one offer rejected for Garnacho during the winter market, while Chelsea were also linked with a mid-season swoop for the attacker, but he ultimately remained at Old Trafford.

The situation has now changed, with Man United open to his exit ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.

Who else is interested in Garnacho?

Chelsea were keen on Garnacho in January, and there is still believed to be interest from the Blues, but Man United would be reluctant to let him make the move to a Premier League rival.

Atletico Madrid are also said to be keen on their former youngster, while Barcelona are thought to be keeping a close eye on the situation, with the Catalan outfit in the market for a new attacker during the summer market.

Garnacho has represented the Red Devils on 144 occasions in all competitions, scoring 26 goals and registering 22 assists in the process, and any sale of the forward would count as pure profit in terms of the Premier League's rules surrounding profit and sustainability.
