Seriously! Napoli makes first offer to Manchester United for Kobe Manu

Serie A club Naples obviously really wants to bring Kobe Manu to Naples. Napoli are reported to have sent their initial offer to Manchester United to sign the midfielder.

Kobe Manu has indeed been frequently linked to Naples since last summer. Napoli coach Antonio Conte is reportedly very interested in using the player in his team's midfield.

However, regrettably, that transfer did not materialize this summer. However, Coante did not give up easily and asked Napoli to pursue the midfielder in the transfer market in January 2026.

The Mirror reports that the defending Serie A champions have already begun taking action to secure the services of Kobe Manu. They have reportedly made their first offer for the midfielder.

See details below.

Submit first offer

According to reports, Manchester United has accepted Napoli's offer for Kobe Manu. The offer is a loan offer for the midfielder.

Naples proposed a six-month loan plan. Discussions will then take place with Manchester United as to whether a permanent purchase clause is included in the contract.

Naples also offered to fully bear Kobe Manu’s salary during the winter loan period. Therefore, they hope that Manchester United will be willing to let Kobe Manu go in the winter.

Emergency

Napoli are said to be moving quickly to bring in Kobe Manu as they are currently in dire straits.

Their main midfielder Kevin De Bruyne has recently suffered a serious injury. The midfielder is ruled out for the rest of the season for Napoli.

After De Bruyne left, a big hole was left in Naples' midfield. This is why Conte wants to fill this gap with Manu.

Unwilling to be liberated

According to reports circulating in the UK, Napoli may have difficulty signing Kobe Manu. Manchester United are reportedly unwilling to let go of the midfielder.

Amorim hopes to keep the midfielder and promises that he will get more playing time starting in December 2025.
