This January transfer window, Manchester United appears to be on the verge of making their first significant move, and it is possible that this will be their only move in terms of arrivals.
A deal to acquire Patrick Dorgu from Lecce, who has the potential to become the Red Devils’ left wing-back going forward, is very close to being finalised.
It is important to note, however, that Manchester United is currently in a situation in which they may be required to make sales in order to remain in compliance with the FFP rules. One of the most effective ways to generate pure profit is by selling academy players on for a reasonable fee.
Alejandro Garnacho is one of the players who has been persistently mentioned in connection with a possible departure from the club based in Manchester. Throughout the course of this month, Napoli has been keeping an eye on the young Argentine player as a possible replacement for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
It was reported that Manchester United wants to part ways with Garnacho this month for a sum of sixty million pounds, but that did not change until yesterday.
It has been reported by Corriere dello Sport that the Red Devils have changed their position and are now willing to sell him for approximately £46 million, which is equivalent to approximately 55 million euros.
According to the report, Manchester United is interested in signing Dorgu, and it is possible that they will want to make a significant sale in addition to the signing. It is possible that this is one of the reasons why they are willing to part ways with someone who possesses such a high level of talent as the Venezuelan.
In the course of this season, Dorgu has been given the opportunity to play in the attack; however, it is anticipated that he will be utilised primarily as a wing-back in Amorim’s system.
Therefore, the departure of Garnacho is not a similar departure to the one that was made, and it is still unknown how this will affect the club.
There is still a significant amount of time left before the transfer window closes for the final time this season. It is currently unknown whether Napoli and Manchester United will be able to come to an agreement regarding the transfer of Alejandro Garnacho. Only time will tell how the situation will play out.
