Kobbie Mainoo is confirmed to be the subject of advanced talks between Napoli and Man Utd, who are negotiating terms ahead of a possible transfer. The midfielder has long been on the radar of Napoli, who see him as the perfect addition to their squad as they look to strengthen a key area of the pitch. Progress on talks has been made, though a final agreement is not yet in place and other clubs are said to be weighing-up whether to join the race for his signature. Arsenal, West Ham and Barcelona are reportedly waiting in the wings. Finalising a fee and payment terms remains central to closing the transfer. So far this season, Napoli are steady at both ends (1.47 goals scored per game, 0.87 goals conceded per game). The role for Kobbie Mainoo would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Speculation continues to connect Man Utd with Tyler Adams, Antonee Robinson and Noah Sadiki while no fresh rumours surround Napoli. Want to see how the story develops?
