Man City ready to take huge loss on Jack Grealish with Napoli deciding between him and Man Utd exile Garnacho
NAPOLI have £45million to spend on Jack Grealish or Alejandro Garnacho — but they will not take both. The Italian champs laid down the law to Manchester rivals 6 Jack Grealish is set to leave Man City this summer Credit: Getty 6 Alejandro Garnacho is like to depart Old Trafford Credit: Getty United want £70m for Garnacho but are yet to receive an offer for the 20-year-old However, City will be prepared to accept a fee of around £45m for Grealish, 29, who Pep Guardiola axed SunSport understands Napoli would love to reunite Grealish with City legend Kevin De Bruyne, who signed a two-year deal on Thursday to end a trophy-laden ten years at the Etihad. READ MORE IN FOOTBALL Grealish, who became England's first £100m player when he signed from However, it is unlikely City would receive a £45m offer from a Premier League club — meaning a loan would be his only option to stay in England. Prem sides would also be unlikely to pay Grealish's £230,000-a-week wages in full.

United would prefer the cash now as they look to give the manager extra funds to make changes. Former Atalanta forward Hojlund scored just four Prem goals last season — ten in all competitions — and looked short of confidence by the end. Yet his stock remains high in Italy and Inter are looking to take him back to Serie A — although they are reluctant to stump up United's £38m asking price. 6
