Man Utd ROCKED by Jack Grealish transfer bombshell

Manchester United have been handed an unlikely blow in their bid to offload Alejandro Garnacho following news that Napoli are interested in signing Jack Grealish this summer.

The Manchester City outcast is almost guaranteed to leave the Etihad Stadium ahead of the 2025-26 campaign, after playing a peripheral role last season, and Napoli have now entered the race to sign him.

That is according to The Telegraph’s Matt Law, who claims that Grealish will need to lower his wages in order to secure a move to the reigning Serie A champions.

Grealish started just seven Premier League matches last season, with only one of those coming in 2025, and he is expected to depart Pep Guardiola’s side after a four-year spell at the club.

FootballTransfers understands that Tottenham Hotspur are eager to sign Grealish this summer, with new boss Thomas Frank open to bringing the England star to north London following his arrival from Brentford.

Meanwhile, former club Aston Villa have been linked with re-signing Grealish in recent months, and Chelsea have even been tentatively tipped to pursue a deal amid their desire to sign a new right-footed left winger.

However, Napoli have emerged as strong contenders to land Grealish during the 2025 summer transfer window, having identified him as an alternative to the aforementioned Garnacho.

Man Utd handed Alejandro Garnacho blow

Garnacho, 20, has been linked with a Man Utd exit since the appointment of Ruben Amorim last winter and he has been told to find a new club by the Red Devils boss following their bust-up after the Europa League final.

Napoli are one of the frontrunners to land the Argentina international this summer, although their pursuit of his signature has died down in recent weeks and they now appear to have switched their attention to landing Grealish.

Garnacho is reportedly aiming to stay in the Premier League, with Chelsea among the clubs interested in a deal, but it remains to be seen if Man Utd will sanction a sale to a direct rival.
