Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho has been bombarded with calls to join Napoli from the Serie A club’s supporters after a frantic weekend for the Italian team.
On Saturday, Napoli boss Antonio Conte confirmed that his winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who has been cautiously linked with a move to United, had announced his desire to leave the club. Speaking to the media, Conte said: “Kvara has asked to be sold.
“The club told me and he confirmed it: I feel very disappointed, because in these six months I have put him at the centre of the project making him understand that something important could be done and I have worked with the club for the renewal, instead we are back to the beginning. Evidently, I have not been so incisive in convincing the parties to move forward together, today I find myself at a point where I have to take a step back.

“I cannot keep in chains those who do not want to stay: I did it in the summer, I had 6 months to convince them to find the solution and therefore it was a bolt from the blue.” However disappointed Conte may feel, he has very rarely stopped this from allowing him to create a plan for the future.
According to Sport Italia, that is exactly what Conte is doing. They report that United’s Garnacho, who has been used sparingly by Ruben Amorim since he arrived at the club, is at the top of the Italian’s wishlist should Kvaratskhelia choose to leave Naples.
Upon hearing this news, the floodgates have opened for Garnacho who is now at the centre of demands from Napoli fans to join their club. On a recent post showing off his pet dogs, Garnacho is now receiving hundreds of replies telling him to join Napoli.
