The report adds that the Red Devils value Garnacho at £60 million ($76m) but will be willing to let him leave for £55 million ($68m) to speed up the process so that they can make their own signings before the transfer window closes on February 3. Journalist Gaston Edul had earlier claimed that the player would prefer a move to Chelsea but a new report from Sky Sports claims that Napoli are deemed favourites to sign the winger.
