Alejandro Garnacho temperament concerns raised by Chelsea & Napoli as Man Utd stand firm on £50m asking price amid January transfer talk

<p>According to <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/01/17/manchester-united-alejandro-garnacho-napoli-chelsea/" target="_blank"><em>The Telegraph</em></a>, Chelsea and Napoli are conducting due diligence on Garnacho’s attitude. Questions about his demeanour have surfaced following comments by United captain Bruno Fernandes, who previously criticised Garnacho's attitude and suggested that the winger’s muted goal celebration against Leicester stemmed from feeling unsupported by fans. He was under further scrutiny <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/play-better-ruben-amorim-update-alejandro-garnacho-manchester-united-future-napoli-pursuit/blt7e19ee6d4a3d0310" target="_blank">when Ruben Amorim omitted him from the starting lineup</a> in the Manchester derby last month. Additionally, reports of a disagreement with the manager during a Europa League clash against Viktoria Plzen have fueled concerns about his behaviour.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Napoli are reportedly keen on Garnacho as a potential replacement for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who is expected to depart for around £60m ($73m) to Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain. However, they are also exploring alternative options, including Borussia Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi and Bayern Munich’s Mathys Tel. Chelsea, too, have Garnacho on their shortlist of attacking targets this month, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/chelsea-man-utd-alejandro-garnacho-napoli-argentina-winger-dortmund-jamie-gittens/blt97c23dd8119b8711" target="_blank">alongside Jamie Gittens of Dortmund</a> and Tel. Dortmund’s Adeyemi has also emerged as a potential late loan option should other negotiations fail to materialise.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Despite the interest, United have <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-reject-offer-alejandro-garnacho-napoli-antonio-conte-unwilling-meet-price-tag/blt141b806db1e5ecad" target="_blank">shown no inclination to sell Garnacho</a> this January. The club has reiterated that they remain committed to retaining him unless a deal meets their strict valuation. Garnacho’s inclusion in United’s recent win over Southampton further underscores the club’s stance on his importance to the squad. Moreover, the Red Devils are also unwilling to entertain swap deals involving players they do not require.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>As the January transfer window unfolds, Garnacho’s future remains uncertain. While Napoli and Chelsea are intrigued by his potential, concerns over his temperament and United’s steadfast approach to negotiations may complicate any deal. The Argentine forward will be in action next against Brighton on Sunday. </p>
