Napoli are reportedly interested in signing 20-year-old Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo during the summer transfer window.

According to an update from reputed Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Napoli are confident of winning the race for the signature of Kobbie Mainoo, but Manchester United are reluctant to let the move go through. Meanwhile, a report from TEAMtalk has claimed that Tottenham are exploring a potential move as well.

The 20-year-old has fallen down the pecking order at Manchester United, and he needs to leave the club to play regularly. A move to Napoli or Tottenham could be ideal for him. Recent reports have claimed that the youngster wants to join Napoli.

Mainoo needs to play more often at this stage of his career. Sitting on the bench at Manchester United will not benefit him. The Englishman is a tremendous talent with a bright future, and he will look to get his career back on track with regular game time.

Joining the Serie A champions will be quite tempting for him. The Partenopei have a talented squad and a world-class manager like Antonio Conte. They will be expected to compete for major trophies, and Mainoo will want to win silverware with them.

The English international has the technical ability to do well in Italy, and he could be an important player for Napoli. The Serie A outfit did well to get the best out of Scott McTominay last season, and they could have a similar impact on Kobbie Mainoo as well. It will be interesting to see if the two clubs can secure an agreement before the window closes.

Spurs keen on Mainoo

Meanwhile, Tottenham need more depth in the middle of the park as well, and it is no surprise that they are keeping tabs on Kobbie Mainoo. He has the ability to develop into a top-class player for them. Tottenham might be able to provide him with more opportunities as well.

Spurs have done well to bring in multiple young talents in recent windows, and it seems that they are looking to add to the formidable pool of young talent already at the club. The 20-year-old has the ability to develop into a quality player with the right guidance, and he could prove to be a solid long-term investment for the North London club. They are looking to build a squad capable of challenging for trophies every season, and signing bright young talents like Mainoo would be a step in the right direction.
