Napoli director Gioanni Manna has admitted Alejandro Garnacho’s financial demands contributed to the collapse of his proposed transfer from Manchester United in January. After Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s surprise departure from Napoli to Paris Saint-Germain early in the window, the Serie A side set their sights firmly on Garnacho who, at the start of January, still faced an uncertain future after being dropped the previous month by United head coach Ruben Amorim. The two clubs negotiated a potential sale but Napoli quickly made it clear that they were not prepared to meet United’s demands, which reports placed anywhere from £50m to £70m. Manna has now…
Manchester City look set to sign Porto midfielder Nico Gonzalez, which stands to take their January transfer window spending to almost £180m. City fell 15 points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool over the weekend, having also played a game more, to all but end their hopes of achieving an unprecedented fifth successive title. The reigning champions have responded in a big way to particularly dreadful form across November and December derailing their season. The new arrivals won’t resurrect the current campaign but could give City a jump on 2025/26 by giving those recruits extra time to settle and adapt. Once an expected Gonzalez deal is…

Luiz, 26, joined Juve from Aston Villa last summer in a £42.3 million deal after a stellar spell at Villa Park, where he became one of the Premier League’s most highly-regarded midfield talents. He has failed to replicate that form at the Allianz Stadium, where Thiago Motta has handed him a bit-part role. Speculation is growing over a potential early departure before the January transfer window closes, and there’s a chance he’ll seal a loan move before February 3. A return to the Premier League is mooted, and Manchester United are monitoring the 18-cap Brazil international as they look to give Ruben Amorim more options in midfield. Luiz…
