Overview
- Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna said the club will evaluate a potential move and did not rule out pursuing Mainoo in January.
- Kobbie Mainoo has yet to start a Premier League match this season and is increasingly expected to push for a loan to gain regular minutes.
- Reports indicate at least a dozen clubs are prepared to take the midfielder on loan next month, with Napoli described as his preferred destination.
- Bayern Munich are reported to be monitoring the situation and see a possible opportunity, with outside reports citing a notional £80m valuation.
- United blocked a summer loan and any January departure is described as contingent on recruiting a replacement and approval from senior decision-makers.
