Napoli has surprised in the transfer market by placing the name of Kobbie Mainoo, a 20-year-old midfielder from Manchester United, as a priority.

The Italian club will start discussions with the English team this same week, in an attempt to strengthen their midfield before the end of the summer transfer window, as reported by the Daily Mail.

Mainoo, top priority in Serie A

The current Serie A champions are looking to add youth and potential to their squad, and believe that Kobbie Mainoo fits perfectly into that profile. The deal could be discussed alongside the negotiation for Rasmus Hojlund, a forward that Napoli is interested in on a loan with a mandatory purchase option.

For the English player, the allure of playing in the Champions League is a decisive factor. Napoli would offer him minutes in the top European tournament, something he hasn't been able to secure at Old Trafford, where he has yet to make his debut this season.

Antonio Conte already has a competitive midfield. Scott McTominay, Serie A's Player of the Year, was a key player in the victory against Sassuolo. Alongside him, figures like Kevin De Bruyne, Frank Anguissa, and Stanislav Lobotka provide solidity and quality. Even Scotsman Billy Gilmour offers alternatives from the bench.

Despite this demanding scenario, the Italian press assures that Mainoo would be willing to make the move. His lack of playing time under Ruben Amorim at United and the stagnation of his contract renewal strengthen the idea of an exit.

A path already taken by others

Napoli has strengthened ties with Manchester United in recent months. They have already signed McTominay and could add a third reinforcement from Old Trafford in less than a year. This smooth relationship could facilitate the agreement, although there is still no definitive decision from England regarding releasing the midfielder.

According to data from the last season, Mainoo played 23 official games with the Red Devils, bringing balance and good passing. His versatility and youth make him a medium-term bet, especially appealing to Conte.

For Napoli, Mainoo's arrival would mean reinforcing an already populated but crucial position in their rotation system, as well as securing a talented player with international potential. For United, on the other hand, letting him go could be a strategic mistake, as the midfield has shown deficiencies in the early Premier League matches.

If the operation goes through, the Neapolitan team will add a young midfielder with a lot of talent to their squad, aiming to regain continuity and demonstrate all his qualities in the most important tournaments.
