Napoli is working hard this season to keep their Serie A title after winning the Italian league last year.
Last season, Scott McTominay joined from Manchester United and had a standout debut, earning the Player of the Year and MVP titles for Serie A 2024/25.
Following McTominay’s success, Napoli returned to Manchester United in the summer to loan Rasmus Hojlund and are closely watching Kobbie Mainoo for their midfield needs.
Currently in third place, Napoli is just two points behind league leaders Inter Milan, with more than half the season left to play.
Thus, January will be crucial for adding depth to the squad for the second half of the season.
According to Area Napoli, the club is interested in signing Christos Mouzakitis from Olympiacos during the winter transfer window.
The report notes that they face competition from Manchester United, Arsenal, Aston Villa, and Brighton, as the midfielder is attracting interest from across Europe.
Manchester United aims to sign two new midfielders in 2026, with a significant acquisition expected in the summer.
However, a more affordable option like Mouzakitis could be pursued in January.
Recent reports suggest that the 18-year-old is valued at around £35 million (€40 million) by Olympiacos, although Area Napoli claims the valuation is £22 million (€25 million).
