TOTTENHAM’S JAW-DROPPING £150M BOMBSHELL ON KOBBIE MAINOO – MAN UTD STAR’S TRANSFER NOW 99% SEALED IN SHOCK SPURS HIJACK!

Tottenham Hotspur could reignite their interest in Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, after previously failing to secure his signature during the summer window.

Reports over recent months suggest Spurs are keeping close tabs on the youngster, who is believed to be open to a move away from Old Trafford in search of regular first-team football — particularly with a place in England’s World Cup squad up for grabs next summer.

However, Tottenham are not alone in the race for Mainoo’s signature.

European giants, including Serie A side Napoli, are also pursuing the talented midfielder and appear to be moving ahead of their rivals.

According to TEAMtalk, Napoli’s efforts to sign Mainoo have now reached “fever pitch.”

Former Spurs boss Antonio Conte, now managing the Italian club, reportedly views the 20-year-old as the “final piece” in their push for the Serie A title and Champions League success.

Napoli are said to be ready to meet Manchester United’s financial demands and have proposed a loan deal with an option to buy.

The Naples club are also prepared to pay Mainoo’s full wages during his time in Italy, with president Aurelio De Laurentiis having given the green light for negotiations to progress.

As for Mainoo, TEAMtalk reports that he is becoming “increasingly receptive” to the prospect of joining Napoli.

Although the midfielder would prefer to stay in the Premier League, the success of fellow English players like Scott McTominay and Ruben Loftus-Cheek in Italy has encouraged him to consider the move.

Meanwhile, Manchester United are open to sanctioning his departure but only once head coach Rubem Amorim has secured a replacement.

Mainoo’s potential switch to Serie A is now gathering pace, setting up what could be one of the most intriguing transfer battles of the January window.
