Alejandro Garnacho is preparing to leave Manchester United before the January transfer deadline amid interest from Chelsea and Napoli, according to reports. But, on Thursday night, the 20-year-old showcased exactly why Ruben Amorim would be making a mistake by sanctioning his exit so late in the winter window.

Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano has suggested Chelsea could yet make a "last-minute" bid for Alejandro Garnacho despite things going quiet on the transfer.

Playing Sky Sports’ Transfer Deal or No Deal, Carragher said of Garnacho moving to Stamford Bridge: ‘No deal because Chelsea do not need to sign another winger.’ The Blues are indeed well stocked with wide forwards as Pedro Neto, Noni Madueke, Joao Felix, Jadon Sancho and Mykhailo Mudryk are all in Enzo Maresca’s squad.

Sky Italia has reported that Napoli boss Antonio Conte is unhappy with the club after the club's pursuit of Garnacho proved to be fruitless. The Italian side also failed to convince Karim Adeyemi to join as their replacement for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia who joined PSG.

Napoli sporting director Gioanni Manna has said that Alejandro Garnacho's financial demands to leave Manchester United in the January transfer window were too high for the Italian club.

Alejandro Garnacho has offered the biggest indication yet that he will be staying at Manchester United despite being targeted by Premier League rivals Chelsea. Chelsea expressed interest in signing the Argentina winger earlier in the January transfer window, despite the wealth of attacking options already at Enzo Maresca’s disposal.

Wednesday delivered plenty of big storylines as a scandal erupted at Chelsea. Plus, Alejandro Garnacho was blamed for his failed transfer from Man Utd to Napoli and Liverpool legends Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk reportedly agreed new contracts.
