I’ve reportedhere earlier than about Kobbie Mainoo trying more likely to go away Manchester United this January, and I’ve been given additional details about the golf equipment pursuing him.
With Mainoo persevering with to battle for normal taking part in time below Ruben Amorim, it’s extensively anticipated that the England worldwide will push to go away Previous Trafford this winter, even when the road from the membership is that they don’t wish to let him go away, having prevented him from doing so in the summertime.

Having spoken additional to different well-connected figures near the brokers business, I may reveal as many as ten golf equipment need Mainoo this January, with various levels of curiosity.
Napoli lead Kobbie Mainoo switch race, however Premier League an choice too
As others have reported, and as I discussed final month, there’s sturdy and concrete curiosity from Napoli. They needed Mainoo in the summertime and it’s nonetheless felt that they’re main the race for his signature.
Nonetheless, I may add 9 names to that checklist. They’re as follows:
- Chelsea
- Tottenham

- Actual Madrid
- Atletico Madrid
Chelsea are additionally long-time admirers of Mainoo and we’ve seen them raid United in current instances for the likes of Jadon Sancho and Alejandro Garnacho. I can’t affirm this for now, however I wouldn’t be shocked if Mainoo’s title has come up in earlier contacts between the 2 groups.
Leeds confirmed an curiosity in a mortgage in the summertime, but it surely by no means received to a complicated stage, whereas a few of my sources additionally indicated that the likes of Manchester Metropolis and Newcastle have cooled their curiosity.
The curiosity from La Liga’s massive three is real, with Atletico understood to be exhibiting the strongest curiosity, although Actual and Barca are additionally conscious of Mainoo’s state of affairs and maintaining a tally of the way it develops.
