Napoli could return to Manchester for the transfer market. In addition to the Azzurri's interest in Kobe Mainoo from United, confirmed by Fabrizio Romano, they also like the profile of Matheus Nunes from City. The Portuguese player with a Brazilian passport is a midfielder, whom Guardiola has transformed into a right-back out of necessity. This very characteristic might attract the Azzurri's management, providing an excellent deputy for Di Lorenzo and an additional option in midfield if needed.
