Napoli have reportedly shown a willingness to offer a discount on Victor Osimhen’s summer transfer fee to Manchester United, provided the Red Devils reduce their valuation of Alejandro Garnacho.
Negotiations Gain Momentum
According to Il Matino, Napoli would accept less than the €75 million initially expected for Osimhen if a deal for Garnacho can be agreed upon.
The 26-year-old Nigerian striker, currently on loan at Galatasaray, has been a prolific scorer, and his return to Napoli this summer has sparked interest from several top clubs, including Manchester United.
Reports also suggest that Garnacho has expressed interest in joining Napoli, with discussions between the clubs expected to escalate.
A meeting between United and Napoli representatives is reportedly on the horizon to negotiate the terms.

Strategic Implications
For United, Osimhen offers the ideal solution to their persistent search for a world-class striker.
His proven track record as one of Europe’s elite forwards would address the team’s need for consistent goalscoring output.
On the other hand, Garnacho’s potential move to Naples represents a chance for the Argentine winger to gain more prominence under Napoli manager Antonio Conte, who reportedly discussed plans with the young talent earlier this month.
Garnacho would add youthful dynamism and creativity to Napoli’s attacking lineup, bolstering their Serie A and Champions League ambitions.
Summer Transfer Dynamics
While Osimhen reportedly turned down a January move to Manchester United to see out his loan at Galatasaray, his availability this summer could define both clubs’ transfer strategies.
A swap deal, particularly one involving a reduced fee for United, presents a win-win scenario for both sides.
