Manchester United will sell Alejandro Garnacho if they receive a €60-70 million bid from Napoli.

That is according to Sky Sport Italia, who have revealed the conditions that will allow Napoli to sign the Argentine attacker.

Napoli have chosen Garnacho as their primary target to replace Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who is set to leave the Serie A side this month.

Napoli manager Antonio Conte revealed on Saturday that Kvaratskhelia has asked to leave the club immediately.

He is currently in advanced talks over a transfer to PSG for a fee in the region of €65-75m.

Napoli have already opened talks with Man Utd over Garnacho to replace the Georgian winger.

An initial bid of around €50m, including add-ons, has already been rejected by United.

But if Napoli were to increase that offer in the €60-70m range, Sky say that Man Utd will sell.

Garnacho has been unsettled at Old Trafford for some time, and has fallen out of favour under new manager Ruben Amorim.

Amorim sensationally dropped him for the Manchester Derby and, although he has returned to the fold since then, he is not an important player for the Portuguese coach.

Garnacho is believed to be open about leaving United to join Napoli.

He was one of the breakout stars in the Premier League in 2022-23, making eight goal contributions from 10 starts and 29 appearances.

He had a string of memorable performances, including the winner against Real Sociedad in the Europa League which made him the youngest foreign player to ever score for Man Utd in European competition.

Garnacho broke a string of records, and also starred in the Manchester derby, assisting Marcus Rashford’s winner in the 2-1 victory over Man City.

Last season Garnacho continued to impress, with 10 goals in all competitions. He scored in the 2-1 FA Cup final win over Man City, hit a memorable brace in the 4-3 victory over Chelsea and scored the goal of the season with a stunning bicycle kick against Everton.

This season Garnacho has seen his star shine less bright, with just three goals and one assist in 19 Premier League games.
