Chelsea is expected to get a huge Kobbie Mainoo hint yet after Man Utd exit possibility emerges.
Busy summer window ahead for Chelsea
The signing of a midfield player is surely going to be the top priority on Chelsea‘s list of targets. They are moving into another busy summer transfer window. A number of backup players have failed to make impact. Romeo Lavia has been poor despite his skills. And the Blues have been relying on Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo this season.
Chelsea are thinking about making a move for the English international this summer. According to Caught Offside, and the Blues have reportedly shown interest in Manchester United star Kobbie Mainoo. According to the Guardian, if the Red Devils are unable to sign him to a new deal. They may be able to sell him this summer for £70 million.
He has wanted a salary of £180,000 per week. While he is already earning around £20,000 per week at Old Trafford. Sir Jim Ratcliffe gave recent update of the club’s financial situation. If not, Man United has enough control over him given the terms of his contract till 2027.
£70 million is reasonable for Kobbie Mainoo
Although Kobbie is a first-team regular for England. And has already earned himself at Manchester United. A £70 million price tag could be steep for a player with very less experience. Many sporting legends have given big words on him. Gary Lineker, the World Cup winner with the Three Lions, who described him as a “incredibly impressive” young player.
According to Caught Offside’s report, the most expected club for the midfielder would be an Italian or Spanish club. But it is to be seen whether any foreign club is ready to match Man United’s valuation. Also managing into his high wages.
