Chelsea are reportedly considering a move for Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo in the upcoming January transfer window if the player expresses interest in a transfer.
Recent reports suggest that Chelsea has emerged as a frontrunner in the race to sign Mainoo, with negotiations for a new contract at Manchester United stalling.
The uncertainty surrounding Mainoo’s future at United has led to speculation that the club may be open to selling the young academy graduate to raise funds for transfers.
While Chelsea’s interest initially appeared to be for a future deal, reports now suggest that a move could happen sooner if Mainoo signals his willingness to move.
Despite being under contract with United until 2027, Mainoo’s future remains uncertain as the club faces financial pressures that may force them to consider offers for their players.
Reports from Sky Sports News indicate that Mainoo is content at United, where he is seen as a key figure for the club’s future plans.
Any potential move to Chelsea would be complex due to United’s valuation of Mainoo and their control over the player’s contract for the next few years.
