Manchester United’s season has been nothing short of disastrous, with the club spending the majority of the campaign stuck in the bottom half of the Premier League table.

With Champions League qualification looking increasingly unlikely, United are braced for a difficult summer.

Both in terms of rebuilding the squad and complying with financial restrictions.

That likely means sales will be required, especially if the club misses out on the £100m Champions League revenue.

One player who could be sacrificed is Alejandro Garnacho.

The Argentine winger was heavily linked with a January exit.

Both Napoli and Chelsea explored the possibility of a deal.

While nothing materialised at the time, interest in Garnacho has not gone away.

Napoli were especially keen to land Garnacho in the winter window.

However, the attacker’s high wage demands reportedly forced the Italian club to step back from negotiations.

Antonio Conte remains firm on bringing Alejandro Garnacho to Italy

However, the Italian side now under Antonio Conte, appear ready to return for him this summer.

According to Calciomercato’s Daniele Longo, Conte is ‘obsessed’ with the idea of bringing Garnacho to Naples.

Conte is reportedly unsatisfied with Napoli’s current attacking options as the club seek a replacement for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

Conte sees Garnacho as the ideal fit.

While other names like Igor Paixao and Riccardo Orsolini are on Napoli’s shortlist, Longo claims Conte’s ‘obsession’ has reached a point where he is pushing hard for Garnacho to arrive in Naples this summer.

The feeling around Napoli is that securing Garnacho’s signature could go a long way to solving their post-Kvaratskhelia rebuild.

Conte seems determined to make it happen.

The summer window will be a huge one for United fans, who will continue to see the likes of Kobbie Mainoo and Garnacho linked with exits.
