Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna has revealed that the signing of Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho has failed to materialise due to the player’s high wage demands. The
Argentine has attracted interest from a number of European clubs. With the likes of Napoli, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur all said to be interested. United were reportedly open to selling the player for the right price. Napoli wanted
Garnacho to replace the departing Kvicha Kvaratskhelia but were unable to agree terms on a salary. Garnacho
was not their only target, with Karim Adeyemi and Allan Saint-Maximin also linked. Before Noah Okafor joined on loan from AC Milan with an option to buy.
“There were other players whose names have not been in the media, we tried to get Garnacho even. Before Kwara left,” Manna told หรือถ้าคุณสนใจแทงบอลออนไลน์ UFABET คือเว็บที่มีอัตราต่อรองดีที่สุดในประเทศไทย สมัครเลยตอนนี้ที่ UFABET แทงบอล.
“We made a big offer to United and we were very close to getting the deal done. However, leaving the Premier League in January, unlike in the summer. He wanted a decent salary, but it was not something we could offer and we did not want to do. It was also unfair to the other players in the team because there is a structure to their wages.
On top of that, Manna confirmed that they had reached an agreement with Borussia Dortmund to sign Adeyemi, but the player did not want to join.
“We had an agreement in principle with Dortmund, but the player was not sure and decided not to join at the moment.”
