Chelsea ‘leading shock transfer race to sign Kobbie Mainoo from Man Utd’ as talks over new deal reach stalemate

CHELSEA are reportedly leading the race to sign Kobbie Mainoo after talks over a new Manchester United deal reached a stalemate.

The Mail sensationally claims that United’s young midfielder could be on his way to Stamford Bridge despite his starring role in Sunday’s 2-2 draw at Liverpool.

The Red Devils are eager to tie Mainoo down to a new deal, despite his current run not expiring until summer 2027.

But talks over an extension have apparently hit a dead end.

It reportedly means Mainoo is facing an uncertain long-term future at Old Trafford.

And Chelsea are now said to be plotting a move to bring Mainoo to London.
