Conte wanted to recruit a new striker as Khvicha Kravatshelia left for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) this winter. The player who emerged as a candidate was Manchester United prospect Garnacho. Garnacho, who joined Manchester United's youth team in 2020, is recognized for his enormous potential and entered the Manchester United first team at the age of 18 in 2022.Garnacho appeared in 84 games in two seasons from the 2022-2023 season to the 2023-2024 season, scoring 15 goals and 9 assists, showing a little growth.
Garnacho is below expectations this season. With eight goals and six assists in 24 games, it is difficult to find a problem at the offensive point, but the influence and performance in the game are too insufficient. The relationship with Coach Huveng Amorim also had problems. Conte immediately sought to recruit Garnacho. DiMargio of Italy 'The story of Hvitsa Kvaratshelia and Naples is now coming to an end.

Despite Conte's enthusiastic push and Napoli's offer, Manchester United insisted on a higher amount and refused to sell Garnachos. In the end, Garnacho remained at Manchester United this winter, and Napoli temporarily filled the vacancy of Hvitsa by signing Noah Okafor from AC Milan on loan. However, Conte seems to have been dissatisfied with the failure to recruit Garnacho despite recruiting Okafor.
Coach Conte is famous for wearing training suits instead of his usual suits and showing up without shaving his beard when he is dissatisfied with recruitment or dissatisfaction with the team. In the past, he surprised fans by appearing like that in Chelsea, and later left after a feud with the team.
It is not very likely that Napoli, which is currently cruising, will reveal such a figure right away, but if the performance falls, fans and the team's leadership will have to be nervous.
