Napoli are ready to make a new and improved January offer for Kobbie Mainoo.
That is according to the Daily Mirror, who report that the Serie A champions are now prepared to pay all of Mainoo's salary on his loan move.

Until now, United have been lukewarm about letting Mainoo leave mid-season but Napoli hope to convince them by offering to pay all of the midfielder's £35,000 a week salary.
With United preferring an outright sale in the event of letting Mainoo go, Napoli are also prepared to potentially make the transfer permanent at the end of the season.
Mainoo to Napoli
Napoli are even more eager to do this deal now after Billy Gilmour became the latest player to suffer an injury during the draw with Como on Saturday.
The Neapolitans are decimated right now, especially in midfield, and last week lost Kevin de Bruyne for four months with a serious injury.
Mainoo is unhappy about the lack of playing time he is getting under Ruben Amorim and has made it clear to United chiefs he wants a dry loan until the end of the season.
Napoli are considered favourites having been keen on signing him in the last days of the summer window, only to be told by Man Utd he was not available.
Aston Villa, Newcastle, Real Madrid and Barcelona are all said to be interested also.
The midfielder is frustrated that he has only started 12 of Ruben Amorim's 35 Premier League games in charge at United.
And he is pushing for a loan move for the second half of the season in order to aid his development and to try and get back into the England squad for the World Cup.
Mainoo was not part of Thomas Tuchel's latest squad due to a lack of minutes at United.
The England midfielder has been a substitute in every single Premier League game this season. He only started the EFL Cup defeat to Grimsby.
Mainoo has made 78 appearances for Man Utd since his senior debut in 2022-23 and has also been capped 10 times by England, playing at Euro 2024.
If Amorim does not start playing Mainoo or change his stance on allowing him to leave on loan, it seems inevitable that this situation could get ugly soon.
