Chelsea’s transfer stance on signing Kobbie Mainoo from Man Utd

Manchester United’s willingness to listen to offers for some of their brightest young talents. Has sent shockwaves through a fanbase who had already scratching their heads. At some of the decisions made by their new INEOS owners.

United’s eagerness to comply with โปรโมชั่นพิเศษจาก UFABET สมัครตอนนี้ รับโบนัสทันที Premier League spending regulations means the likes of Kobbie Mainoo, Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund, who are all deemed to be homegrown, could be available for the right price.

United are not actively looking to sell any of their players but the grim reality of their financial. Situation means they would be prepare to listen to suitable offers.

Under PSR rules, the sale of homegrown players represents pure profit in an accounting sense,. Wis why Chelsea have so pro-active in selling a number of their academy graduates over the course of the last few years.

The potential departure of Mainoo would be particularly difficult for United to swallow given the club’s history of putting faith in local talent, allied to the fact his emergence has one of the few uplifting elements of a torrid 12 months.

After making his breakthrough under Erik ten Hag last season, the teenager appears to be a key part of Ruben Amorim’s long-term plans and he will no doubt continue to feature for England under Thomas Tuchel after he playe a key role under Gareth Southgate at Euro 2024.

There was already a measure of uncertainty over Mainoo’s future given. He is in the middle of contract negotiations.

The 19-year-old’s current deal expires in two years’ time and although there is an option to extend by a further 12 months, the player is justifiably seeking significantly improved financial terms.

Chelsea, meanwhile, have built their new-look team, funded by their Clearlake ownership, around a group of Europe’s most exciting young players so it is no surprise to see them linked with a player of Mainoo’s repuation.

Reports earlier this week claimed they were leading the race to sign the gifte midfielder but it is more accurate to stay they are monitoring the player’s situation.

Chelsea have already drawn up a list of targets for the summer and although Mainoo is not thought to. Be a priority, they will be keeping abreast of the situation, particularly if contract talks stall.

The Blues have invested heavily on midfielders, breaking the British transfer record twice in quick succession to recruit Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo.

Chelsea also beat off significant competition from Liverpool to sign Romeo Lavia who, after an injury hit first season, has shown real promise this term under Enzo Maresca.
