Transfer Rumours: De Bruyne & Garnacho on Napoli’s Radar as Man Utd Await Carreras Windfall; Forest Pursue Nunes Swap

Alejandro Garnacho

Italian giants line up Premier League stars, United cash in on former defender, and City midfielder could head to Nottingham in exchange deal.

Napoli, fresh off their triumphant Serie A campaign, are setting their sights on two high-profile Premier League players—Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne and Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho—as they aim to strengthen their squad for next season.

According to The Telegraph, Napoli have identified the Belgian midfielder and Argentine winger as key targets. De Bruyne, who is set to leave Manchester City, is scheduled for talks with Napoli’s hierarchy next week. Meanwhile, the Italian club is expected to revive their pursuit of Garnacho after a failed £63 million bid in January, following the sale of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to Paris Saint-Germain.

United’s new manager, Ruben Amorim, has reportedly informed Garnacho to seek a new club, with Napoli emerging as a leading contender. The 19-year-old forward is valued at around £60 million, a figure that previously deterred Chelsea in the winter window.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s Transfer Budget Boosted by Sell-On Clause

Manchester United could receive a significant financial boost thanks to a shrewd sell-on clause in the deal that sent Álvaro Carreras to Benfica last summer. The Mirror reports that Real Madrid are preparing a £42 million bid for the Spanish left-back, triggering a 40-50% profit share for United.

Carreras, who never made a senior appearance for United, has flourished at Benfica, helping them secure a second-place finish in Portugal’s top division and a domestic cup victory. While no official bid has been made, Madrid may need to meet his release clause to secure his signature.

Forest and City Explore Swap Deal Involving Nunes and Gibbs-White

Midfielder Swap Could Kickstart Summer Transfer Activity

Nottingham Forest are reportedly considering a part-exchange deal that would see Manchester City’s Matheus Nunes move to the City Ground, with Morgan Gibbs-White heading in the opposite direction. The Sun suggests that Forest manager Nuno Espírito Santo is keen on the Portuguese midfielder, valued at around £35 million, while Gibbs-White could command a fee nearly double that amount.

City, looking to refresh their squad, may use Nunes as leverage in negotiations, with Gibbs-White emerging as a potential target. The proposed swap could signal the start of a busy transfer window for both clubs.

As the summer window heats up, these moves could reshape squads across Europe’s top leagues.
