Possibility that Garnacho might be heading to Napoli. Well there's interest in him anyway. Whether they make a bid or can get close to agreeing a fee is another matter.
Can't see the club letting garnacho and rashford leave in the same window.

Probably just paper talk but selling Rashford, Garnacho and Casemiro and potentially Malacia, Eriksen and Antony.
Would be a huge PSR boost and allow Amorim to make significant changes.

I agree it would free up cash. But it’s difficult to get good players in January without over spending. Could end up with a lack of numbers.
But as you’ve said, it’s all likely paper talk and nobody will end up leaving.

Of that list only Garnacho should stay. Unfortunately he is the one most likely to make the biggest impact on PSR.
I think that he will end up staying and we move Rashford (loan fee and salary) and Casemiro (sale fee and wages) giving us a small hit.
I think that Amorim will see develpment potential in Garnacho and will want at least the rest of the season with him.
It will be loans in if anything, LWB and Striker. We will have to make do for the rest of the season.

I'm on the fence with the idea of selling Garnacho.
On one hand I'm loathed to sell a talented young academy graduate who looks like he has the talent to become a top player. For me giving academy players a chance and helping them become top players is a big part of the clubs identity and sets us apart from most other top clubs. It would be a transfer that feels opposed to what the club should be about.
However, on the other hand it is a deal that could make a lot of sense. I like Garnacho, but currently he isn't a natural fit for any of the roles in Amorim's system. While there have been more than one rumour about a lack of professionalism or questionable attitude from Garnacho. Talent alone will not carry him to the top, you need to have the work rate and the right attitude/ mentality. Therefore, selling a young player who isn't a natural fit in the team, and who might struggle to realise his potential due to his attitude/ mentality for a large fee (all of which will be considered profit which important for PSR) that can be used to bring in a top class player who is suited to how this team will look to play under the new manager makes a lot of sense.
In an ideal world we'd keep Garnacho and he will continue to improve and develop (he has shown glimpses in recent games of taking on board the managers instructions) and we offload other players who are contributing less. But the reality is that this isn't an ideal world, and Garnacho might have to be sacrificed for the greater good. Which will be a crying shame, but maybe a necessity.

I read somewhere that the reports of United having no cash due to PSR aren’t accurate and there is money to spend if needed. Don’t know how true that is.

Selling Garnacho would be stupid. He’s quality and will only get better. A replacement would cost more than we’d get and be on more wages!
Ed0002 is this genuine news that they want to sell him?
{Ed025's Note - ED002 will not be answering you anytime soon mate..

I'm seeing figures of around 40 million for Garnacho. I know that is 100% profit but it would be ludicrous to sell him for that low.
14 Jan 2025 09:21:39
The article I read, and take it with a huge pinch of salt, said that Napoli were looking to pay around £40m but United want £60-£65m.
15 Jan 2025 06:58:43
we would not sell for under 60 mill. Ignore the noise.
18 Jan 2025 17:29:45
Ed025 thanks. Is he not around anymore? I’ve not been around since pre season if anything has happened.
Do you know if this is genuine or just nonsense? Surely they can’t be looking at selling Garnacho or Mainoo?
{Ed025's Note - sadly LEE ED002 passed away just before Christmas mate, i cant see them 2 going anywhere now mate because you were within the PSR regulations it may change in the summer but i would hope not..
26 Jan 2025 13:15:50
Ed025 sorry mate I had no idea, that’s awful.
{Ed025's Note - yeah mate a massive loss for us all..
