Real Madrid has set on its agenda the need to find successors to Luka Modric and Toni Kroos, two legends who have made their mark in the Santiago Bernabéu era. In the quest for talent, one of the names that has most captivated the Valdebebas coaches is Kobbie Mainoo, a young English midfielder currently under contract with Manchester United.

Kobbie Mainoo was already on Real Madrid's radar during the last transfer window

The interest of the white team in the player is no coincidence. Mainoo, despite his youth, has already shown personality, vision on the field, and the ability to control the midfield in the Premier League, attracting the attention of giants like Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Newcastle, and Napoli. However, the operation will not be simple, as reported by DefensaCentral, as Old Trafford has taken a clear stance: anyone wishing to acquire their gem will have to pay 90 million euros.

That is the price set by the Red Devils' board, well above the 50 million that is currently his market value. For Real Madrid, which has recently invested in reinforcing its defense with names like Dean Huijsen, Trent Alexander-Arnold, or Álvaro Carreras, this amount seems excessive and difficult to assume at this time.

What is even more surprising is that the player himself is not going through his best moment at United. The arrival of Rúben Amorim to the bench has significantly reduced his prominence, after having been an important player under the command of Erik ten Hag. This situation has caused unrest in the player, who, according to various reports, has already expressed to his circle the desire to seek new horizons in upcoming transfer windows.

Still, in Manchester, they do not seem willing to facilitate his departure. The English club's strategy is to leverage the midfielder's contract, which runs until 2027, to ensure a millionaire transfer. Real Madrid, aware that it needs new blood in its midfield in the medium term, has made it clear that they will evaluate the operation, but always within reasonable financial parameters.

The interest of other European clubs could further increase tension in the bidding, although most agree that the requested 90 million are a significant deterrent. From the Spanish capital, they believe that United will eventually lower their demands if the player truly insists on leaving, a situation that has occurred before with young talents seeking a quality leap.

For now, the scenario is clear: Real Madrid wants Mainoo, but not at any cost. At Valdebebas, they know that the operation would be a significant statement, but Florentino Pérez and his team are aware that meeting the English demands could disrupt the club's financial strategy. The negotiation promises to be lengthy and tense, with a common theme: the future of Kobbie Mainoo will be one of the major talking points in the next transfer market.
