Overview
- Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna said the club will make the “right evaluations” on Mainoo after months of interest, leaving the possibility of a January approach open.
- Manager Ruben Amorim has stated the club comes first and he will not force exits, with any decision on Mainoo expected to involve CEO Omar Berrada and football director Jason Wilcox.
- Mainoo has started just one game this season and none in the Premier League, with reports noting his frustration as Joshua Zirkzee and Ayden Heaven have recently earned more opportunities.
- Reports claim at least a dozen clubs are prepared to take Mainoo on loan in January, with Napoli described as his preferred destination after a summer request was blocked.
- Bayern Munich are reported to be monitoring the situation, with fresh guidance indicating he is an option rather than a top priority for the German champions.
