Midfielder Chelsea wants ‘capable of becoming a cornerstone’ of Blues side – talks continue
CHELSEA would be getting a player that could become a cornerstone of the side if they were able to secure a transfer deal for Manchester United star Kobbie Mainoo, according to reporter Iomie Stanley.
Chelsea have once again been in the transfer headlines over the past few weeks, after rumours emerged that they are interested in signing Mainoo from Man United as he struggles to agree a new contract at Old Trafford.
Man United are still working on trying to get the young man signed up to a new contract, but amid all the rumours that they are struggling to secure his immediate future, reporter Stanley has claimed that Mainoo is a player capable of becoming a cornerstone of Chelsea’s team.
He told icfootballnews: ‘Mainoo is widely regarded as one of Manchester United’s brightest prospects. Having made his senior debut under Erik ten Hag in the 2022/23 season, Mainoo has demonstrated remarkable composure, technical ability, and tactical intelligence for his age.
‘United fans and coaches have high hopes for Mainoo, viewing him as a natural heir to the club’s storied tradition of producing top-class midfielders. However, his demands after becoming a regular in the side have changed and he could really leave the club.
‘Chelsea’s interest in Mainoo aligns with their ongoing strategy of acquiring young, high-potential players. Under their ownership, the Blues have shown a clear intent to build a squad for the future, signing talents like Enzo Fernández, Moisés Caicedo, and Romeo Lavia. Adding Mainoo to their ranks would not only strengthen their midfield depth but also signal a long-term investment in a player capable of becoming a cornerstone of their team.
‘Chelsea’s current midfield setup is undergoing a transformation, and Mainoo could play a pivotal role in this evolution. His ball-winning abilities, tactical versatility, and vision would complement Chelsea’s high-energy style of play.
‘Moreover, his youthful dynamism could offer a refreshing balance alongside established names. If Man United cannot agree to the terms that Mainoo wants, then CHELSEA are really willing to give a big contract.’
