Napoli among 10+ clubs interested in Mainoo
According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, Napoli are among over 10 clubs interested in the services of Kobbie Mainoo.
Mainoo is widely reported to be seeking a loan move away from his boyhood club Manchester United in January.
He has made just one start across all competitions this season, in a dreary Carabao Cup defeat to Grimsby Town.
While there is said to be interest in the player, Romano added that a departure may be dependent on how long United's players are away for the Africa Cup of Nations.
Romano claimed: "Napoli remain among +10 clubs keen on Kobbie Mainoo since August, still very attentive to the situation.
"Deal depends on Man United decision as Amorim doesn’t want to lose players while many are away for the AFCON."

Kane makes decision on Bayern Munich exit
According to Bayern Munich reporter Christian Falk, Harry Kane is not looking for his £56 million release clause to be activated in January.
The England skipper is said to be happy at Bayern and is open to a one-year extension to his current deal, which would tie him to Bavaria until 2028.
Falk’s report claims: "Kane has a £56m release clause in his contract, but it expires at the end of January. The striker has decided not to trigger his release clause. For him, winning trophies with Bayern is more important than anything else.
"In recent months, mainly Spanish media reported that Barcelona were considering making a move for Kane, as a potential replacement for Robert Lewandowski, who is set to become a free agent next summer. However, my information is that a potential move was never seriously discussed.
"The England striker still has two years left on his deal, and it appears that all parties are pretty relaxed about his situation.
"Kane can even imagine delaying the talks until after the World Cup. Both the club and the player are open to a one-year renewal until 2028."

Rosenior happy at Strasbourg despite Premier League interest
Strasbourg manager Liam Rosenior is reportedly happy at Strasbourg despite reports linking him to Fulham.
Since replacing Patrick Vieira as Strasbourg boss in 2024, the 41-year-old has seen the Alsace club go from relegation battlers to European challengers.
Indeed, Strasbourg are second in the UEFA Europa Conference League standings, level on points with leaders Samsunspor.
Despite links with Fulham and Wolverhampton Wanderers throughout the campaign, a member of Rosenior’s entourage told L’Equipe the Englishman is in no rush to leave Strasbourg.
They said: "He is happy with his choice and with the project developed at Strasbourg.
"At his age, at this stage in his career, Le Racing is a great place to experiment, to learn how to manage high-potential prospects, to manage the pressure of a club playing in European competition, and to target the top of the table, before going higher."

Calcio Mercato’s report reads: "The 1995-born player from Bochum has been offered to two big clubs in our Serie A: Juventus and Inter.

"Given the wage policies of both clubs, as well as the fact that we are talking about a player who will turn 31 in February, Goretzka's profile is unlikely to be given any concrete consideration.
"With 21 appearances this season, Goretzka could have moved to Italy last summer. As CM.IT learned exclusively, Roma made a move before the end of last season."
