The English midfielder seems to have days spoken at Manchester United.
AS writes that Manchester United have already set their marketing strategy and set the price of Kobbie Mainoo at 50 million euros. The 19-year-old is considered one of the most promising young midfielders in Europe, and his potential has attracted interest from several big clubs – including Real Madrid, who see him as a serious option to strengthen their midfield for next season.
Several clubs follow Mainoo closely
The interest in Mainoo is not limited to Real Madrid. Inter Milan and Chelsea are also following his situation closely, after he has impressed in the Premier League.

Although his contract with United expires in 2027, the club needs to generate revenue for new signings – which has put him on the list of potential sales.
United must sell to bring in new players
Portuguese Rúben Amorim, who will soon take over as United coach, expects significant reinforcements to turn around a team that has had an unstable season. To finance this, the board is willing to sell some of its young stars.
Apart from Mainoo, Alejandro Garnacho could also be one of those who leave Old Trafford this summer.
This season, Mainoo has made 25 appearances for United, with one goal and one assist. Although the statistics are not explosive, his technical quality and maturity on the pitch have attracted attention from Europe’s big clubs.
Now it remains to be seen whether Real Madrid will go ahead with a bid, or if one of the competitors will be able to beat them in the battle for his signature.
