Chelsea are reportedly the team most likely to land Kobbie Mainoo if he ends up sealing a transfer away from Manchester United.
The talented young England international was a revelation for the Red Devils last season when he broke into the first team under previous manager Erik ten Hag, and it looks like for sure he will be an important part of the club’s future.
Still, it seems Chelsea are now watching Mainoo’s situation as the 19-year-old’s contract talks It is said that they have found themselves at an impasse, according to a report from the Daily Mail.

This story has come out of nowhere, with Mainoo looking set at United after his impressive start to life at Old Trafford, but it seems he may not be quite right behind the scenes.
Manchester United surely cannot lose Kobbie Mainoo against Chelsea
United will surely be desperate not to lose a talented local player like Mainoo to rivals Chelsea, so perhaps this link is being put there to put pressure on the club to sort out his new deal.
It will be interesting to see how this saga plays out, but Chelsea fans will probably be quite excited as Mainoo would be another young talent to add to their roster.
The west Londoners have done well in recent times to land some of the best prospects in world football, and Enzo Maresca has done a great job with these players this season.
However, it is not so obvious that Chelsea need Mainoo at the moment, as they already have a clear first-choice midfield partnership in the form of Enzo Fernández and Moises Caicedo, while Romeo Lavia is a very good replacement option. decent
Still, an opportunity like Mainoo would certainly be tempting, so it seems like he could be an opportunity to look at in the near future if contract talks don’t progress.
