Real Madrid Confidencial They announce a possible signing in January, Real Madrid studies the deal
Real Madrid explores signing Kobbie Mainoo in January: United demands €70 million and other major European clubs are also following him
Real Madrid looks to the winter transfer market again. The club has explored the situation of Kobbie Mainoo, a Manchester United midfielder who's the talk of the Premier League.
According to Ekrem Konur regarding the operation, Valdebebas has already made inquiries to find out about his availability. The idea is clear: keep an option open in January in case an emergency arises in midfield.
Mainoo wants to make the leap
The young Englishman, just 20 years old, doesn't hide his ambition. Mainoo would be willing to sign for Madrid "immediately" as long as the offer is suitable. This stance puts the club in a favorable position.
The problem is at Old Trafford. United won't make it easy. Mainoo is under contract until 2027, with an option to extend for one more year, and his value is around £70 million. In Manchester, they see him as a key piece for the future.
Operation conditioned
There's no rush at Chamartín, but there is interest. The signing depends on several factors. One of them is Dani Ceballos's situation, as he barely features in Xabi Alonso's plans. Another is possible injuries that could leave the midfield short-handed in the coming months.
Madrid is closely monitoring the progress of its midfielders. Kroos retired last summer, Modric is in his final seasons, and the demands are at their highest in a squad aiming for everything.
Competition in Europe
Mainoo isn't only on Madrid's radar. Napoli, Bayern, and Lyon are also inquiring about him. His growth in the Premier League has sparked interest across much of Europe, and United knows it has a gem in its hands.
The player, however, feels that his time in Manchester could be reaching a turning point. The team's inconsistency and the lack of a solid project fuel his desire for a change of scenery.
Madrid considers him a perfect profile to strengthen the midfield. Young, dynamic, and able to cover several positions. A talent that would fit into the club's immediate future.
January will be key. Florentino Pérez and his board will assess whether it's worth making a move or waiting until summer. The truth is that Mainoo is already on Bernabéu's radar, and the operation doesn't seem like a simple rumor.
