Romano – Napoli close in on winger as Chelsea left in pole position to sign Man Utd attacker Garnacho | OneFootball

Napoli have seemingly decided to move away from pursuing Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Serie A club were thought to be in a head-to-head battle with Chelsea for the 20-year-old, who appears to be open to a switch away from Old Trafford.

Now it seems that Enzo Maresca’s men may have stolen the match on the Naples-based side, with Romano revealing that Napoli have made an approach for another left-sided winger.

He posted on X, formerly known as Twitter: “Napoli have approached Anderlecht for Belgian winger Francis Amuzu, negotiations started.

“Discussions ongoing over transfer fee for 25 year old winger after Anderlecht were also approached from Premier League club earlier in the window, club sources confirm.”

With the all transfer speculation going on, it’s easy to forget but there is still great Premier League football to be seen. You can find out how to buy Arsenal vs Man City tickets via FootballItalia by following the link here.

Chelsea are after an attacker to lead their line as they press ahead of their ambitions of clinching a spot in the Champions League next season.

The club have already been linked to Mathys Tel of Bayern Munich, but even before then, they had been linked with a move for Garnacho.

The stories appeared to die down but then The Athletic’s David Ornstein said that he expects any potential move of the Argentine to Old Trafford to go down right to the wire.
