Serie A Giants Pursue Kobbie Mainoo, Eyeing Man United Player

Napoli Interested in Manchester United's Kobbie Mainoo

Napoli is showing interest in Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo. Negotiations are ongoing between United and Napoli for a loan deal involving striker Rasmus Hojlund, which may include an obligation to buy based on appearances.

During discussions this week, Napoli is expected to propose Mainoo as a potential signing, following Scott McTominay's move from Old Trafford. Napoli can offer Mainoo Champions League football, which is a crucial factor for the 20-year-old, giving them an advantage over Roma.

However, there is strong competition in Napoli's midfield, particularly from McTominay, who was Serie A Player of the Year last season. Mainoo, who has had limited playing time at United, is now being sought by Napoli amid uncertainties about his future at the club.

If Mainoo joins Napoli, he would reunite with former United teammate Scott McTominay. The midfield options at Napoli, including players like Kevin De Bruyne, Frank Anguissa, and Stanislav Lobotka, present a challenge for Mainoo. Despite this, the youngster is reportedly eager to prove himself in European competitions.

Mainoo has struggled to secure playing time under Ruben Amorim at United and has not featured in any matches this season. Talks about a new contract have also hit a standstill.
