Discussions between Manchester United and Napoli are ongoing over a deal in the region of £50million, plus add ons, for Alejandro Garnacho.
Mail Sport revealed this week that the Serie A club were expected to make a renewed approach for the Argentine winger, who is out of favour at Old Trafford under new boss Ruben Amorim.
Napoli coach Antonio Conte sounded out the Argentine and his representatives about a move last week.
Chelsea, who Mail Sport revealed would like to sign Kobbie Mainoo , are having talks about wheather to make their own offer for the winger. Garnacho’s agents Carlos Cambeiro and Quique de Lucas, a former Chelsea player, were at Stamford Bridge on Monday night.
Napoli are in desperate need of a left-sided winger following the £59m sale of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to PSG earlier this month.
Mail Sport reported last week that Man United value Garnacho at £65m. Further discussions between the Italian club and the Red Devils are planned in Milan on Wednesday.

United’s official line is that Garnacho is a valuable squad member and are not actively looking to sell now but their resolve may be tested should Napoli or Chelsea up the ante.
Rashford, Garnacho and Antony all trained on Wednesday morning ahead of United’s game against Rangers.
In April 2023, Garnacho, signed a new five-year deal with the Red Devils but he has reportedly grown frustrated with his place in the team under Amorim.
The Argentina international lost his spot in the starting XI ahead of the Manchester derby last month and has been on the fringes ever since.
Garnacho has failed to register a goal contribution since Amorim’s arrival and has managed jus three goals and one assist in the Premier League all season.
The youngster could be set to join a side top of Serie A and in the hunt for their second top-flight title in three years. Under Conte, Napoli have returned to the league summit and lead defending champions Inter Milan by three points just beyond the halfway stage.
Notable former Manchester United players in the squad include Romelu Lukaku and Scott McTominay.
