HARRY MAGUIRE could reunite with former Manchester United team-mates Scott McTominay and Rasmus Hojlund – because Napoli are among three Serie A sides showing interest in a January deal.
The centre-back, 32, has an uncertain future thanks to entering the final six months of his Old Trafford contract.
Italian media outlet TuttoMercatoWeb report that Maguire is at the centre of a three-way transfer race.
Reigning Serie A champions Napoli, along with domestic rivals Inter Milan and Fiorentina, are eyeing the ex-United captain.
But Maguire will need to take a massive pay cut in order to seal a move to Serie A.
And the England international is holding talks with his agents over potential Old Trafford exit routes.
Napoli boss Antonio Conte is considering adding Maguire to his options after Luca Marianucci has edged towards quitting.
But the San Siro has been earmarked as another possible destination as table-topping Inter are tempted to pounce if Stefan de Vrij or Francesco Acerbi leave.
Fiorentina, who are languishing in the relegation zone, have also named Maguire among their targets.
But it has been conceded that the cost of a deal means it will be difficult for them to win the race.

Maguire will have a chance to combine with former United goalkeeper David De Gea if he joins Fiorentina.
The Red Devils have Lisandro Martinez, Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt and Ayden Heaven among their senior options at the heart of the backline.
And Carrick, who was appointed as United’s caretaker boss until the end of the season, could choose to give Maguire the green light to depart.
The ex-Sheffield United favourite has been limited to 10 appearances in all competitions this season and returned from injury during the FA Cup loss to Brighton last week.
United forked out £85million to sign Maguire from Leicester in 2019 – which made him the most expensive defender on the planet.
