Amorim comes clean on Kobbie Mainoo Chelsea transfer links as Man Utd boss reverses new arrivals ‘demand’

Ruben Amorim, the manager of Manchester United, has made it abundantly plain that he intends to keep Kobbie Mainoo at Old Trafford. This comes in the aftermath of widespread rumours that the midfielder is interested in joining Chelsea. TEAMtalk sources have made it abundantly apparent why a transfer to Stamford Bridge appears to be an exceedingly challenging endeavour for the Blues to accomplish.

The 19-year-old player, who is now earning £20,000 per week, is currently in discussions with Manchester United over a much-needed pay rise at Old Trafford. The current deal that Mainoo is on is a significant way short of what a player of his size ought to be earning. Despite the fact that Sir Jim Ratcliffe is aware that the days of high-end players earning more than 300,000 pounds a week, as was the case with players such as Casemiro and Marcus Rashford, are no longer in existence, there appears to be a gap between what United are willing to pay Mainoo and what the player himself desires.

In point of fact, there are rumours that assert Mainoo is looking for a wage package at Old Trafford that is about two hundred thousand pounds per week. This is a conjecture that TEAMtalk is able to refute, which has led to some strong speculation that an exit cannot be ruled out.

To this end, a number of credible sources, such as Chris Wheeler of the Daily Mail and Laurie Whitwell of The Athletic, have asserted this week that Chelsea is positioning themselves to be at the forefront of the queue for Mainoo. This is in the event that United is compelled to sell him, and it comes amid speculation that the young player could be sacrificed in order to assist in funding the club’s rebuilding plans under the direction of Amorim, who has recently taken over as manager.

Amorim, on the other hand, has denied that he has made “demands” to club executives over new terms and has expressed his opinion regarding the rumours that Mainoo is being linked to Chelsea.

“The first thing, I think, I don’t remember saying that I clearly want new players,” Amorim said to the reporters. “I can’t remember having said that.”

“Players are welcome to come here with a wide variety of ideas on how to play. However, I do not recall expressing my desire for new players in such a clear manner. Our recruitment efforts need to be improved. What we need to do is make improvements to the academy in order to attract younger children who have a positive impression of the club.

It is always our intention to keep the top players and the guys that we develop for this club,” said the club’s president. In spite of this, we are aware of the current situation that this club finds itself in. I truly appreciate our players, particularly those who come from our program.

One of our primary goals is to retain our most talented players, but we are also aware that this is a challenging circumstance for the club and a challenging period.

He went on to say, in response to the rumours that were circulating about Mainoo, “I am really happy with Kobbie – he is improving all the time.”

After Chelsea talk has been disproved, what is the next step for Kobbie Mainoo?
The speculation that has been going around is that if Manchester United were to be forced to sell their young midfielder, they would demand a minimum price tag of seventy million pounds from teams.

And while Chelsea’s admiration for Mainoo, who has already won ten caps for England, does not come as much of a surprise given that any team in the Premier League would be thrilled to have the teenager on their roster, the buzz surrounding the possibility of Mainoo leaving Old Trafford can be put to rest – at least for the time being.

The reason for this is that sources have informed TEAMtalk that although the Blues are undoubtedly keeping an eye on his position, it is possible that Mainoo and United are not nearly as far away from reaching a deal as has been thought.

In addition, we are able to disprove the assertions that the 19-year-old player is requesting a weekly wage range of about two hundred thousand pounds from the club. Additionally, despite the fact that he is now engaged in negotiations regarding a salary hike that is much earned, there is confidence that a compromise may be struck on a value lower than that.

In addition, it is widely believed that Mainoo’s first objective is to maintain his current position at United by signing a contract extension before beginning negotiations for a potential transfer to Stamford Bridge.

And even if a contentious sale were to be sanctioned, we are aware that this would not take place until the summer at the very least, and his departure would be considered a last resort.

However, because he is under contract until 2027 and has an option for an extra year, United still has time to negotiate the terms that they believe are appropriate and appropriate for a player of his position. Discussions at this point continue to be friendly as well.

Fabrizio Romano, in a recent update, also echoed the lack of fear that was displayed by the United team that was playing.

On his YouTube channel, he stated, “What I can tell you is that many of your messages are about this Chelsea story. I think it’s absolutely normal for all top clubs in the world, definitely Chelsea, but also many others, to appreciate a player like Kobbie Mainoo.” He was referring to the fact that many of the comments he received were about Chelsea.

“How could you possibly not fall in love with someone as talented as Kobbie Mainoo? Do not forget what this young man performed for the English national team when he was younger. He was a member of the academy just a year ago, and then he had a phenomenal climb with Manchester United and the European Championships. Therefore, falling in love with Kobbie Mainoo is very natural, particularly if you are a member of an English club at the time.

But at this point, that is all there is. It is not my intention to use the phrase “Chelsea like Kobbie Mainoo” as my headline because it is completely clear and typical.

The situation is entirely calm, and there are no conversations taking place with any other club. There is also no bid that is currently being considered. This is the point that Manchester United is trying to make. A deal with the player extends until 2027, and there is an option to extend it until 2028. Therefore, the scenario for Manchester United is not one of extreme desperation.

The most recent transfer news from Manchester United: Ratcliffe completes a triple exodus
Sir Jim Ratcliffe is putting pressure on club executives to finalise departures for all of Marcus Rashford, Antony, and Casemiro this month. While the sale of Mainoo appears to be an unlikely event this month, the Red Devils are trying hard to unload three other high-paid players.

With the news that updates on where the three stars may all end up this month coming to light, it is possible that the departure of all three stars could save more than 600,000 pounds each week for the time being and could potentially save up to 900,000 pounds over the long run.

In the meanwhile, it has been claimed that Joshua Zirkzee has reversed his decisions on his apparent intention to quit Old Trafford this month.

The great player from the Netherlands has been a terrible figure this season. He was recently driven to tears following a humiliating early substitute against Newcastle, which prompted him to approach his agent about an instant resignation from the team.

According to the most recent rumours coming out of Italy, Zirkzee has reportedly made a complete about-face and settled on a different course of action. This comes despite the fact that Juventus has been connected with a move, and a return to Bologna is also a possibility.

And lastly, despite the fact that Como’s apparent interest in Rashford has been unsuccessful, the club may be able to strike it rich with a move for a second United player. They have been highly connected with a bid for a defender who is seldom seen.
