How Napoli can still land Mancheester United’s Kobbie Mainoo | OneFootball

Napoli are reportedly preparing to reignite their pursuit of Manchester United’s Kobbie Mainoo, with a potential departure for Noa Lang serving as the catalyst. According to transfer expert Carlo Laudisa, relayed by AreaNapoli, the Dutch winger’s exit could provide the necessary financial breathing room for the Partenopei to finally secure their primary midfield target.

Notably, Lang has attracted significant interest from Turkey, and a lucrative deal for the former PSV man is seen as the key to unlocking the Mainoo operation. Indeed, the Manchester United youngster has been at the top of Giovanni Manna’s wishlist for months, and despite recent regulatory hurdles regarding wage costs, the track remains very much “alive.”

Furthermore, Laudisa emphasized that while other exits like Lorenzo Lucca’s are complicated by the delayed return of Romelu Lukaku, Lang’s situation is more fluid. Consequently, if the winger decides to accept a move to Istanbul, Napoli will have the resources to launch a definitive assault for the English international.

As things stand, Mainoo remains the “main option” for Antonio Conte’s midfield. If the pieces of the puzzle fall into place, the 20-year-old could be the marquee addition to bolster Napoli’s Scudetto charge in the second half of the season.
