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.
