Those who thought that Manchester United would have the big chequebook at home next year are mistaken. – The reports from Old Trafford are that there will be a total upheaval of the squad where the financial elastic will be stretched to the breaking point.
Fichajes reports that the Premier League giants are preparing a bid for €90 million Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
He has been linked with a Napoli exit since the club’s Serie A triumph in 2023 with interest from a number of big clubs. Barcelona and Chelsea are among the teams that have been touted as possible destinations for Kvaratskhelia.
The purchase is thought to be partially balanced out with a sale of Antony having been heavily linked with an exit amid his troubles at Old Trafford, while Jadon Sancho will join Chelsea on a permanent deal if the Blues finish 14th or higher in the Premier League table this season. Is now in 4th place so it is likely.
As a result, Man Utd are looking at several new attackers, with Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze also on their wish list.
The 23-year-old has five goals and two assists in 11 Serie A games so far this season.
Kvaratskhelia will have two years left on his Napoli contract when the summer 2025 transfer window opens, and the Serie A giants are currently hoping to extend his current deal.
However, Giovanni Manna, the club’s director, has warned Kvaratskhelia that he will have to make a decision soon.
“We are talking to Khvicha and his entourage,” he told DAZN.
“We made an offer in July and are now talking. We don’t want to wait too long, as we want to stay focused on the current campaign and keep the player focused as well.
“We expect the situation to develop quickly, otherwise we will wait until the end of the season, when the player still has two years left on his contract, and then make our own evaluations.”
