Napoli wants to snatch a winter signing from Manchester United.

Napoli, under the management of Antonio Conte, has emerged as an unexpected contender in the battle for Ben Chilwell, complicating Manchester United's plans. The Neapolitan club, starting the season strongly, is looking to bolster its squad to remain a strong Serie A title challenger. Reports from Italy suggest that Chilwell, the current Chelsea player, has piqued Napoli's interest, with plans to seek his loan in January with a purchase option at the season's end.

This move by Napoli could disrupt Manchester United's intentions, as they have long been in search of a left-back due to frequent injuries affecting their squad. Injuries to Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia have left Erik ten Hag with limited options in that position, making Chilwell one of their main targets to strengthen the "Red Devils" defense in the upcoming January transfer window.

Napoli Wants Ben Chilwell

Napoli's interest comes at a time when United was preparing an offer to acquire the services of the 27-year-old full-back, who has significant experience in the Premier League. Chilwell has established himself as a reliable defender during his spells at Leicester City and Chelsea, making him a coveted piece for both clubs.

Conte's team, however, does not intend to wait until summer and might make an offer in January, putting pressure on Manchester United to act swiftly. The prospect of Chilwell moving to Italy adds an unexpected twist to the race for his signature, and the coming months will be crucial in determining his future.
