New reports have emerged indicating the possibility of a Man United exit for Kobbie Mainoo as the summer transfer window comes to a close.
Man United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, according to various reports, is edging closer to a possible exit this summer 2025 transfer window, with reports from The Athletic and further insights revealing a complex situation behind the scenes.
The 19-year-old has shown maturity and quality since breaking into the senior team, but sources suggest he is now ready to leave Old Trafford due to a combination of factors. One of the key reasons cited for this impending departure is that both sides have failed to reach an agreement in terms of contract negotiations.
Mainoo’s representatives are said to be holding out for improved terms, with wage expectations currently far from being met. United, meanwhile, have been open to a sale all summer, though they have not actively pushed him toward the exit.
Another layer of frustration stems from what has been described as a lack of clear communication from manager Rúben Amorim, leaving the midfielder uncertain about his role in the long-term project. Internally, there have also been quiet concerns raised about his mobility on the pitch, with some at the club questioning whether he can adapt to Amorim’s demanding tactical system.
What is Kobbie Mainoo’s market value?
Despite these issues, Mainoo’s market value as a Man United player remains high, as it is estimated that he is worth a fee of around £45 million (€51m), and the Red Devil board could seal a deal with any club that offers that much. With elite clubs across Europe monitoring the situation, his availability will undoubtedly attract significant interest in the final weeks of the window.
Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid Kobbie Mainoo transfer update
Spanish heavyweights Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are reportedly monitoring Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo as the transfer deadline approaches. According to Keegan of Daily Mail Sport, both clubs are tracking the England international, who has found limited opportunities under Erik ten Hag’s successor, Ruben Amorim.
Sources suggest that a loan move for the rest of the season could appeal to the Madrid sides, especially with the window set to shut on Monday.
Although Mainoo is willing to stay at Old Trafford, he is eager for regular first-team minutes and would consider a move that guarantees Champions League football.
However, Keegan adds that United have no intention of sanctioning a loan exit. The club would only listen to offers for a permanent transfer and remain firm in their stance not to part ways with him this summer.
