As the rumoured asking price of Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo becomes more apparent, a new team has entered the competition to acquire his services through a transfer.
Since playing in an advanced role during Man United’s 2-0 loss to Crystal Palace at Old Trafford on February 2, Mainoo, who is 19 years old, has not participated in any Premier League matches for the club.
Nevertheless, the adolescent has been the focus of attention as a result of his absence, and this attention has come from both fans and the media.
According to a claim that was published by The Guardian at the beginning of March, the midfielder is “considering to decline the offer of a contract” and is looking to “move abroad.”
After the contract talks between the player’s representation and the football club reached a “stalemate,” Chris Wheeler of the Mail said earlier in the year that Chelsea was the leading contender to sign the England international. Wheeler’s assertion came after the contract discussions had reached a “stalemate.”
A shocking European club has been associated with Mainoo, whose current term with United is scheduled to continue until the summer of 2027. The potential fee for the transfer has been revealed, and it is possible that the club in question is not the one you would anticipate.
Inter Milan is reportedly “interested” in the player, and United is reportedly prepared to take a sum of €50 million (£41.8 million), according to a report from the Italian site Calcio Mercato. This comes despite the fact that there were earlier rumours that said United was asking for a fee of £70 million.
Real Madrid, the current champions of both the La Liga and the Champions League, is reportedly keeping a close check on the player’s status, according to the Spanish news site Fichajes.
Fans expressed their opinions on social media over the possible asking price that United may want for the midfielder and the possibility that he could leave the club.
Someone said, “That is an excessive amount. Because he is still a teenager, he has not yet completed a full season. It is estimated that he is worth twenty million pounds.
Someone someone chimed in, “€50M? Within the context of this economy? for the sole midfielder in whom we have faith? All right, Glazers, you should go ahead and sell the young squad as well.
“In all honesty, Mainoo is a player of high calibre,” said a third commenter. Despite the fact that I would prefer not to let him go, we should probably cash in on him if we are unable to find a position for him on the squad.
“He would play well in the 10 in the same manner as ZIRKZEE but we’re still yet to see enough of him in the position.”
“I wouldn’t mind if he leaves,” said a fourth person, explaining their position. We are in a position where we need to sell him, despite the fact that he is a talented player.
