Napoli have confirmed their interest in signing either Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho or Borussia Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi before the January transfer window closes.

The Serie A champions see both players as potential replacements for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who recently joined Paris Saint-Germain.

Speaking to The Standard, Napoli’s sporting director Giovanni Manna said:

“Karim Adeyemi and Alejandro Garnacho are two names that interest us, that we like. They are not the only ones, and we will try to evaluate the opportunities.

“We will certainly not pay off-market prices. Kvara [Kvaratskhelia] must be replaced. We are not holding back. We also have other ideas—let’s see what happens in the next few days.”

In other news, Chelsea Women made history on Sunday by completing the signing of Naomi Girma from San Diego Wave for a record-breaking fee.

The defender has become the world’s first $1 million women’s player, with the two clubs agreeing on a deal worth approximately $1.1 million. This surpasses the previous record of $860,000 set when Racheal Kundananji moved from Madrid CFF to Bay FC.
