Sky Sports: Chelsea now ready to offer £70m to sign ‘incredible’ Man Utd star…..

Due to the club’s dire financial situation, Manchester United star Bobbie Mainoo may be forced to go, with Chelsea reportedly “ready” to pay £70 million for his talents.

Since joining the team in November 2023, Mainoo has been one of United’s most reliable players. Despite the Red Devils’ poor Premier League performance, he has been a rare bright spot in their lineup, which has drawn interest from Chelsea, who are reportedly eager to add another outstanding young player to their already strong roster.

According to a report by Sacha Tavolieri of Sky Sports, United may be willing to accept a sizable offer for any player in Ruben Amorim’s team because they have been dealing with “serious financial fair play issues.”

A contract renewal for the young England international had been discussed in the summer, but United’s present situation might alter Mainoo’s future at the Theatre of Dreams. As a result, he is one player who could depart Old Trafford. Chelsea has contacted Mainoo’s representation regarding a possible transfer after learning about United’s financial predicament. Todd Boehly and the Blues’ top management are eager to sign the greatest young players in Europe.

According to the source, Enzo Maresca’s team may even be prepared to make an offer “near £70 million” to persuade United’s hiring managers to let go of their academy graduate, who would then transfer from the north-west to the capital. The club has the option to extend Mainoo’s contract for an additional year, allowing him to remain at his hometown club until he turns 23. His current contract expires in June 2027.

Stats Output Squad rank
Appearances 14 =12th
Dribbles Per Game 1.4 2nd
Tackles Per Game 2.4 =5th
Interceptions Per Game 1.1 5th
Match rating 6.68 8th

As per the source, Mainoo may grow ‘soon frustrated’ with Old Trafford’s lack of ambition, which might have serious repercussions. Even though Mainoo is only 19 years old, he will prioritise United, but given their unstable financial status, things could drastically alter and the club may have to force Mainoo to leave.

With Napoli reportedly interested in replacing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who is leaving for Paris Saint-Germain, Alejandro Garnacho could be the big star moved on to lessen the financial burden. However, even if Garnacho does leave for Serie A, Mainoo might not escape the consequences of what is happening.

With five goals in 32 games for the Red Devils to end the season, including a goal in the FA Cup final to lift the renowned trophy against fierce rivals Manchester City, Mainoo made his debut just over a year ago, winning Man of the Match in his first league start for United in a 3-0 victory at Everton.

Mainoo’s ‘amazing’ stock is very high after being called up to the England squad for EURO 2024 and starting in the final against Spain, but it is unclear if he will depart.
