Napoli ‘make contact’ over Alejandro Garnacho transfer alternative amid Man Utd talks in big boost for Chelsea
NAPOLI have made contact over a transfer for an Alejandro Garnacho alternative, reports suggest. Garnacho, 20, is the subject of heavy interest from the Italian side and Chelsea for a deal which could reach up to £70million. GettyAlejandro Garnacho could be left with just one option left for a transfer soon[/caption] RexIt comes after Napoli opened talks for Karim Adeyemi[/caption] Manchester United are adamant they will not sell for anything less than their asking price and have rejected a bid of £50m plus add-ons for Garnacho from Napoli. In response, the Serie A side have turned their attention towards Borussia Dortmund star Karim Adeyemi. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Naples chiefs have made contact with the German club over a deal. Dortmund are understood to be open to a sale this month despite sitting 10th in the Bundesliga and having already sold Donyell Malen to Aston Villa. Despite their rejected bid for Garnacho, Napoli remain in talks with Man Utd. However, the news of interest in an alternative option could end up being a major boost to Chelsea, who are weighing up a bid for Garnacho of their own. Chelsea are without the banned Mykhailo Mudryk, so Enzo Maresca wants to add another winger to his options. SunSport explained why Man Utd should only consider a sale to Napoli this month.

Man Utd ratings vs Brighton By Ken Lawrence ANDRE ONANA was back to his worst as Manchester United fell to another Old Trafford defeat.

Here is how SunSport’s Ken Lawrence rated the United display… ANDRE ONANA: 2 – No chance with either of the Seagulls’ first two goals. But an awful howler to gift them their third. MATTHIJS DE LIGT: 5 – Certainly doesn’t look like he likes players running at him as Kaoru Mitoma constantly did. Looked unsure of himself throughout. HARRY MAGUIRE: 6 – The one member of United’s three-man central defence who looked like he knew what he was doing. Beginning to believe in himself again. LENY YORO: 5 – The £52m youngster is still settling into the Premier League to be fair to him. But he is certainly taking his time about it. NOUSSAIR MAZRAOUI: 4 – Has been one of the few consistent successes of Amorim’s tactical revolution. Yet he had a real shocker this time around. MANUEL UGARTE: 5 – Supposedly “tired” in the 3-1 win over Southampton the midfielder looked brighter here. Yet he still doesn’t look that switched on. KOBBIE MAINOO: 4 – Where is last season’s Kobbie? Looks nothing like the buzzing homegrown midfielder who burst on the scene last season. DIOGO DALOT: 5 – Did his duties as a left wing-back to the best of his abilities. Another United player, however, who looked nothing like sharp enough. AMAD DIALLO: 7 – Thursday night’s 12-minute treble hero on a high again – unlike, again, so many team-mates. Sometimes his footwork is just dazzling. BRUNO FERNANDES: 6 – Ultra-cool from the spot but that goal didn’t do much to raise his performance level. Had one of those days where nothing really clicked. JOSHUA ZIRKZEE: 5 – “Won” the penalty after being brought down although Carlos Baleba’s challenge would have looked good in a wrestling ring. There’s a footballer in there somewhere… SUBS ALEJANDRO GARNACHO (for Mainoo 64): 5 – Struggled to make an impact in a team that was being taken apart. TOBY COLLYER (for Ugarte 64): 5 – Plenty of youthful commitment but still too inexperienced to lift a side as poor as Amorim’s. ANTONY (for Mazraoui 84): 4 – Talk about a last throw of the dice by Amorim… RASMUS HOJLUND (for Zirkzee 84): 4 – Given a thankless task in the closing moments of another depressing display.
