Manchester United could lose Kobbie Mainoo to Tottenham after no progress on contract renewal
United alarmed as contract renewal stalls for €50M-rated midfielder
Kobbie Mainoo, one of Manchester United’s brightest young stars, could be on his way out of Old Trafford as Tottenham Hotspur closely monitors his contract situation. The 20-year-old midfielder is currently under contract until June 2027, but has not made progress on an extension—raising concerns at the club.
Tottenham Ready to Act as Uncertainty Grows
According to a report from TBR Football, Spurs are preparing to move if Mainoo’s situation remains unresolved. United had hoped to secure a long-term renewal, but the lack of agreement has left the door open for rival clubs.
With manager Rúben Amorim overseeing a squad rebuild, the potential loss of a homegrown talent like Mainoo would represent a major blow. The Portuguese coach sees the midfielder as key to the club’s future and is pushing to keep him.
Mainoo’s Market Value Hits €50 Million
Mainoo is currently valued at €50 million, according to Transfermarkt. Despite his youth, the England U21 international has shown impressive maturity and positional versatility, making him a standout performer in United’s midfield last season.
While Manchester United is not actively seeking to sell, there is concern over the financial implications of allowing Mainoo to run down his contract. Spurs are reportedly exploring all possibilities either negotiating a fee this summer or positioning themselves for a future free transfer.
Ruben Amorim’s United Rebuild Underway
As contract talks stall, Manchester United has been active in the transfer market, aiming to restructure the team for the 2025–26 season. After a disappointing first campaign under Amorim, the club has already announced the signings of Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, both acquired for significant sums.
These reinforcements underline the club’s commitment to turning the tide in the Premier League. However, losing a talent like Mainoo developed internally and already performing at a high level would represent a step backward.
