Napoli identify De Bruyne replacement with Minans on the radar

Journalist Ikram Konor has revealed that SSC Napoli have included Dutch midfielder Sven Mijnans, playmaker of PSV Eindhoven, among their potential options to replace Kevin De Bruyne, should the Belgian star leave during the upcoming winter transfer window.

SSC Napoli's interest in Mike Maignan comes amid the uncertainty surrounding Kevin De Bruyne's future, with PSV Eindhoven also interested in signing the Belgian player in January. Italian reports have indicated that Napoli's management has been monitoring Maignan for some time.

Reports have suggested a potential swap deal between SSC Napoli and PSV Eindhoven, with De Bruyne moving to the Dutch club in exchange for Minans joining the Italian side.

However, the idea of a swap remains just a possibility at the moment, with no confirmations regarding the start of official negotiations between the two clubs, while the coming weeks may bring new developments regarding the future of both parties.
