Real Madrid’s interest in Kobbie Mainoo has Manchester United midfielder excited
Real Madrid’s ongoing market activity under Xabi Alonso has taken a new turn, with the Spanish giants closely monitoring Kobbie Mainoo. According to TEAMtalk, the Manchester United midfielder is “extremely excited” about the possibility of joining Los Blancos.
Mainoo Thrilled by Real Madrid Links
The 19-year-old, considered one of the brightest talents at Old Trafford, has reportedly grown unhappy with his situation at Manchester United. The news that Real Madrid are investigating his availability has boosted his desire for a move, with the youngster said to be “more than willing” to play in La Liga.
Why a Deal Seems Difficult Now
Despite the player’s enthusiasm, a transfer this summer appears unlikely. Manchester United are determined to keep Mainoo, who is under contract until June 2027. The club also values him highly, with Transfermarkt listing his market worth at €50 million.
For now, Real Madrid would only consider a loan move, an option Manchester United are unwilling to accept. This makes an immediate agreement complicated.
Mainoo’s Setback at United
Adding to the uncertainty, Mainoo featured in United’s Carabao Cup shock defeat to Grimsby Town, a fourth-division side that eliminated the Red Devils on penalties. The disappointing result has intensified pressure on the squad, with questions raised about the midfielder’s role under Erik ten Hag.
![Polish forward talks about his relationship with Hansi Flick and the future Robert Lewandowski has been given a new lease of life at Barcelona by Hansi Flick and has already scored 19 goals and provided two assists in 17 games for the Catalans this season. In an interview with The Athletic , the forward made a dig at Xavi, the former Blaugrana coach . “Everyone at the club is giving their best. We, the players, are doing very well on the pitch. I also think we feel stronger. When you have the physical preparation we have now, you don’t need to worry about keeping up with the physical demands of the game and you immediately think about how to beat your opponent. Now we know we are in good shape, we have the strength and the legs to do what we need to do,” he said. “When I heard that Hansi [Flick] was coming to Barcelona , I was very happy because I knew what was going to happen. I have worked a lot with Hansi and we don’t need to talk much. We understand each other very well. He is a very direct and fair person. Even with those who don’t play, he tries to talk to you and tell you the truth,” he added. The Polish international forward also spoke about the future: “I don’t make long-term plans. I’m doing very well now. Maybe in two or three years I’ll feel like I don’t want to play at a high level anymore, but at this age you can’t know exactly what will happen. I feel like I’m where I dreamed of being.”](https://www.isfootball8.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/robert-lewandowski-en-el-real-madrid-barcelona-de-la-final-de-la-supercopa-de-espana-en-2024-efe.jpg)
