Luca Marianucci, who joined Napoli from Empoli in the summer, may leave the club on a temporary basis in January to gain more consistent playing time after featuring for just 90 minutes under Antonio Conte. According to Tuttosport, Napoli's sporting director, Giovanni Manna, is open to a loan move, which he considers the most functional solution for the defender's development. Cremonese is reportedly leading the pursuit, having accelerated its efforts in the last few hours. The club's coach, Davide Nicola, is said to appreciate Marianucci and considers him suitable for his system, with sporting director Simone Giacchetta working to close the deal. Genoa, Cagliari, and Torino are also monitoring the Under-21 player's situation.
