Kobbie Mainoo has been linked with a move away from Manchester United in recent months, and Chelsea are keen on securing his signature.
According to a report by Give Me Sport, Kobbie Mainoo is valued at £70 million, and Chelsea have been keen on securing his signature. The Blues are looking to add more quality and depth to their midfield, and the England international would be a solid long-term acquisition.
Mainoo has established himself as a key player for Manchester United, and he has the ability to improve Chelsea in the middle of the park as well. He could form a solid partnership with the likes of Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo.
Chelsea certainly have the financial resources to get the deal done, and they would do well to secure his signature in the coming months. So, it is hardly surprising that the Blues have been keen on signing the Englishman.
Meanwhile, Manchester United are hoping to tie him down to a new long-term deal. The Englishman is one of their most promising young talents, and they simply cannot afford to lose him to a direct rival. Manchester United will be hoping to fight for trophies in the coming seasons and they need to improve their squad adequately. Signing the right players will help them bounce back strongly.
Manchester United cannot afford to lose Mainoo
The report has claimed that Manchester United have now decided to postpone contract talks with the English international. The delay in contract talks will certainly worry the fans, and they will hope that it does not affect the young midfielder’s future at the club.
Manchester United cannot afford to lose a player of his quality anytime soon. He has all the attributes to develop into a world-class player, and Manchester United should look to nurture him into a key star for them.
It will be interesting to see how the situation develops over the next few months. The young midfielder will look to sort out his future and focus on his football. Signing a new deal with Manchester United could be an attractive option for him. He has no reason to leave his boyhood club just yet, and the move to Chelsea might not appeal to him as much.
Furthermore, both clubs are going through a period of rebuilding, and Chelsea might not be able to provide him with the platform to win major trophies instantly. Staying at Manchester United and growing with the team could be ideal for the young midfielder.
