I don’t think we’re selling him after Amorim’s latest comments - not before January deadline anyway. In the summer if a huge offer arrives - probably dependent on his form from now until the end of the season.
 
I’d still probably keep him and get rid of our two mediocre CFs and Rashford instead. His drive and intensity is great and a strong fit for the PL and his movement makes him a nice maverick option to have in the squad. There’s enough players to let go of and release funds - there mentioned above, Casemiro, Eriksen, possibly Mount, Lindelof, Onana, Dalot, Malacia etc

The fact that he’s responded well enough to Amorim’s feedback for him to start also reflects well on his attitude.
For those highlighted in bold, whilst there will be savings in their salaries, their original transfer fees have still not been fully amortised, meaning that unless they are sold with transfer fees that at least match the outstanding amortisation values, then on the books that will go down as a loss, and thus impact the PSR rules.
So they can't just be 'let go'. There needs to be buyers for them that will be willing to pay those transfer fees.
 
Glad he appears to have knuckled down and made it work. It would have been a massive mistake to let him go.
 
Looking more and more like Glazer tactics: threaten Mainoo and Garnacho sales, so when they stay, we’re happy it’s like new signings

A lot on here wanted him gone for some strange reason and they go quiet then when he assists / scores etc

Certainly not me, he’s one of my favourite players and, on a Football Manager scale, I think he has Potential Ability of 170+
 
Such a sad state of affairs that we are forced to think about selling good players like Garnacho (because they can fetch decent money) but have to keep the others we should be selling (because no one wants them). Looks like we are comfortable in 13th place and have now started to even behave like a bottom half team.

Sadly, I have a strong feeling that selling Garnacho will come back and bite us hard. He is still a very young player and has the potential to go several notches higher.
Get a grip!

We are 12.
 
If we did sell him (unlikely this window) I think he's we should demand at least £70m. I'm sure there's gotta be a player out there that would fit what we need in the squad better than Garnacho for around that price. I'd swap him for Gyokeres for example.

Would you for Osimhen?
 
And that’s on the high side for Napoli? They were paying osimhen 4 times that amount. Cheeky feckers

From what was reported that was in line with what Kvaratshkelia was earning at Napoli so I guess they assumed as a 20 year old Garnacho would settle for a small bump on his current salary whereas he probably was looking for something close to the Osimhen salary. I am sure they could have met in the middle somewhere if their bid had been accepted but now they want to try and smear the player because their own fans are upset that a star player left midway through a title challenge and has not been replaced.
 
I'd still take £60m for him this summer to help with a rebuild if we had to.

Purely because with that money we could really improve multiple positions.

We do have plenty of players to remove from the squad before selling Garnacho would even be a possibility though

We will. Unless we miraculously win EL, I don't think he'll want to stay either.

It all depends on who we’ve got that’s actually worth anything. No one’s going to be interested in taking Maguire, for anything more than 10-15M
