Manchester United could suffer a major blow with Bayern Munich and Chelsea interested in this impressive young England international.
Chelsea positions itself at the front of the race to sign the highly prized Manchester United midfielder as the Bayern Munich would have entered the running. Kobbie Mainoo, who is currently on a modest contract of €29,000 per week, is seeking a substantial increase in his salary. According to a report from The Sun in England, there is talk of an amount which would rise to €200,000 per week, and Manchester United are reluctant to respond to his demands. Chelsea have long admired Mainoo, who quickly rose through the ranks at Old Trafford.
-The London club view the young England international as a potential game changer. His technical abilities, vision and versatility have not gone unnoticed by Chelsea recruiters. For several weeks, he has been discussing an extension with his leaders. Today, he still has not found an agreement and is increasingly thinking about leaving.
Sources close to Stamford Bridge suggest that Chelsea’s financial might gives them an advantage. The Blues have recently focused on acquiring young talent on long-term contracts, and Mainoo fits this profile perfectly. The Blues are reportedly ready to present a lucrative offer to the player, whose contract with United runs until 2027.
As we previously reported today, lGerman giants Bayern Munich are also eyeing the midfielder. Chelsea will need to act quickly to fend off Bayern’s interest, especially as Mainoo has expressed his desire to play at the highest level and for a club keen to live up to his ambitions on and off the pitch.
