Real Madrid Are Ready To Test Manutd Resolve For Kobbie Mainoo Amid On-Pitch Crisis

Real Madrid have set their sights on Kobbie Mainoo of Manchester United, according to recent reports from Spain.

Manchester United teenage sensation Kobbie Mainoo has only broke into the Old Trafford first-team this season – but Real Madrid are keen on prising him away from England like they did with Ronaldo back in 2008.

In a shocking report from Don Diario, it’s thought that the La Liga giants are keen on bringing in the teenager who only broke through into the Red Devils first team this season.

Mainoo is anticipated to become a cornerstone of the club’s midfield for years to come and there are already talks underway over a new contract beyond his current deal, which extends until 2027.

But recent reports suggests that Real Madrid are keen on the player, who has caught the eye of Real Madrid’s chief scout, Juni Calafat and are ready to test the waters for Mainoo.

With Madrid Veterans like Luka Modric’s contract expiring this summer and Toni Kroos is of veteran age, so Real Madrid may look to bring in fresh blood.

However, at Manchester United Mainoo is a starter and it would be hard to see any such move from a club that has a decent crop of midfielders in their squad.

The move would also be catastrophic for new owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s PR, with the INEOS chief facing losing fans’ trust, were he to sell one of their best players.
