Manchester United’s Kobbie Mainoo is reportedly open to joining Chelsea, with discussions taking place between the Blues and the midfielder’s representatives, though United’s £100m valuation could complicate a potential deal.
Chelsea are eyeing a move for Manchester United star Kobbie Mainoo, with reports suggesting the 19-year-old is keen on the idea of joining Enzo Maresca’s squad. The Blues have been in contact with his camp as they continue their search for a new midfielder.
Mainoo’s contract at United runs until 2027, but negotiations over a new deal have stalled, partly due to financial restrictions at Old Trafford. With United hesitant to approve big-money contracts under their current structure, Chelsea see an opportunity to lure the England international to Stamford Bridge. However, any deal would likely cost £100m, making it one of Chelsea’s most expensive signings under Todd Boehly’s ownership.
