Garnacho Prefers Sunderland Loan Over Napoli in Surprise Transfer Twist
Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho is set to join Sunderland on a season-long loan, despite strong interest from Serie A giants Napoli. The 20-year-old rising star has reportedly chosen the Black Cats as his preferred destination, prioritizing regular playing time and development in the Premier League.
Garnacho, who made a strong impression under Erik ten Hag last season, faces fierce competition for starting minutes at Old Trafford. While Napoli offered European football and a shot at the Serie A title, sources close to the player suggest he was drawn to Sunderland’s clear vision and guaranteed role in their attacking setup.
Sunderland’s return to the Premier League has sparked significant recruitment plans, with Garnacho seen as a marquee addition. Head coach Tony Mowbray is believed to have personally pushed for the deal, promising a key role for the Argentine winger.
The loan move is expected to be finalized this week, with only minor details left to be agreed between the clubs. Garnacho’s decision to remain in England could also benefit United, who are keen to monitor his progress closely.
Should the move go through, it would be a major statement of intent from Sunderland as they look to establish themselves in the
top flight.
