Kobbie Mainoo Halts Man United Contract Talks, Seeks January Move for Minutes

United prefer a temporary move in the winter window, with Napoli interested yet weighing other midfield targets.

Overview

  • The 20-year-old has made seven Premier League appearances this season, all as a substitute, for roughly 138 minutes in total.
  • Napoli are pursuing a January deal and have identified Lorenzo Pellegrini, Morten Frendrup and Arthur Atta as fallback options.
  • United are viewed as open to a straight loan next month rather than a permanent sale, with renewal discussions paused for clarity on his role.
  • Mainoo is under contract until 2027 after summer approaches were rejected, and no agreement has been reached for any transfer.
  • External estimates place his potential valuation near £40 million, and reported interest also includes Premier League sides such as Arsenal and West Ham.
