Napoli Make New Move for Man United’s Kobbie Mainoo as January Loan-to-Buy Talks Advance
United lean toward a foreign loan, reflecting his lack of minutes under Ruben Amorim.
Overview
- Napoli have revived their pursuit with a reported new offer, targeting a January loan that could include an option or appearance-triggered obligation to buy.
- Sky-linked reports say Manchester United have opened the door to a compromise and would prefer any move to be outside the Premier League.
- A TeamTalk report relayed by EPL Index describes talks as advanced, with Napoli prepared to cover Mainoo’s wages and include a purchase option.
- Mainoo has made eight appearances this season with no Premier League starts, and reports say he is attracted by the chance to work under Antonio Conte.
- Napoli’s urgency is linked to Kevin De Bruyne’s thigh injury, and no agreement has been announced as negotiations continue.
