CHELSEA are reportedly ‘leading the chase’ to sign Kobbie Mainoo in the event he leaves Manchester United and fails to agree a new contract with the Premier League giants.
Mainoo, whose current Manchester United contract runs until 2027, has impressed with a string of eye-catching displays that saw him earn a first England cap last season.
He is a player that is now being tipped to become an absolute superstar of the game and there has even been some reports that Spanish giants Real Madrid are eyeing up a potential deal in the summer.
United are in a strong position when it comes to the 19-year-old as he still has more than two years left on his contract and the Red Devils have an option to extend it by a further 12 months.
After The Athletic’s David Ornstein said there is ‘no news’ on a new United deal for Mainoo on Sunday, the Daily Mail have stated Chelsea are at the front of the queue in trying to recruit the England international if he leaves Old Trafford. They would, however, face stiff competition should bidding begin.
