Chelsea continues its talent scouting strategy by targeting a new nugget, Kobbie Mainoo, Manchester United midfielder. After an already ambitious summer transfer window and the upcoming arrival of Brazilian Estevão Willian, the London club continues to examine opportunities to strengthen its squad.
At just 19 years old, Kobbie Mainoo has established himself as one of the Premier League’s brightest prospects. His performances, notably in the FA Cup final against Manchester City, confirmed his immense potential. Selected with the Three Lions for Euro 2024, he is seen as a future executive of English football. However, while he is under contract until 2027 with Manchester United, negotiations for an extension appear to have stalled, opening the door to speculation over his future.

According to Chris Wheeler, the Blues would be best placed to secure the services of Mainoo if the latter decided to leave his training club. This operation is part of the club’s policy aimed at attracting young talents to build a competitive workforce in the long term. Enzo Maresca, despite his stated preference for a tight group, could see in Mainoo a key profile for the years to come.
