Kobbie Mainoo Next Club Odds: Chelsea And Juve Battling For United Youngster

Manchester United's efforts to comply with the Premier League's profitability and sustainability rules could force them to sell some of their best homegrown players, and Chelsea are in pole position to take advantage by attempting to sign Kobbie Mainoo.

As a result, betting sites are already offering odds on the youngster's next club with doubts surrounding his future at Old Trafford.

The United academy product enjoyed a remarkable breakout season in 2023/24 as he shone for his boyhood club and England.

Despite this, it’s emerged that United are open to letting Mainoo leave as a pure profit sale could potentially significantly boost Ruben Amorim’s summer budget.

With his Old Trafford future far from certain, we take a look at where the young star could end up next should he leave his boyhood club.

Chelsea Head The Market

Chelsea are leading the race to sign Mainoo in a sensational deal if the Manchester United midfielder leaves Old Trafford.

If reports are to be believed, Chelsea are ready to move for the 20-year-old if he cannot agree new terms, though they would face competition from Premier League rivals and clubs abroad.

Chelsea have splashed the cash to build their team around a group of Europe’s most exciting young players, and Mainoo would fit straight into Enzo Maresca's system.

Kobbie Mainoo Next Club Odds

The Blues have invested heavily on midfielders, breaking the British transfer record twice in quick succession to recruit Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo.

Chelsea also beat off significant competition from Liverpool to sign Romeo Lavia, who, after an injury-hit first season, has shown real promise this term.

So it is no surprise to see them linked with a player of Mainoo’s reputation at 3/1.

Juventus Looking To Rebuild

After a disappointing season, Italian giants Juventus (4/1) will look to shake things up this summer.

Champions League qualification is in their own hands with one game to go, but being 12 points behind leaders Napoli at this stage is not good enough for a club of their stature.

Thiago Motta had started the season in charge but was replaced by Igor Tudor in March.

There could be another managerial change in the summer, but whoever is in charge, Mainoo could be one of their big signings.

Manchester To Milan?

In stark contrast to Juventus, Inter Milan have had a fantastic season.

Under Simone Inzaghi's guidance, they are in with a chance of a Serie A title going into the final day and have reached the final of the Champions League, where they will face PSG.

Inzaghi is a master tactician, and a player with the versatility of Mainoo is the type of player he likes to work with.

The United youngster is 5/1 with football betting sites to move to Inter in the summer.

Villa Interested In United Youngster

Unai Emery has done another fantastic job at Aston Villa this season.

The Spaniard led the club to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and with one game to go in the Premier League, they still have a chance of qualifying for Europe's biggest competition again.

Emery has a few talented young Englishmen in his squad, including Morgan Rogers, who has been one of the standout performers.

Mainoo would likely flourish under Emery, and he is 5/1 to move to Villa Park.

Chance Of England Reunion At Bayern 

Bayern Munich have been crowned Bundesliga champions, and their attention will now turn to retaining the title next season.

Much of their success under Vincent Kompany has been based around a couple of English stars who continue to thrive on the continent.

Harry Kane has netted 62 goals since moving to Germany, while Eric Dier also played a big part this season.

Should United decide to sell Mainoo, the prospect of linking up with his fellow countrymen could make a transfer to Munich more appealing.

Mainoo is 13/2 with betting apps to join the German giants.

Forest And Spurs In The Mix

If Mainoo would prefer to stay in the Premier League, Chelsea are not the only option for the United starlet.

Tottenham (10/1) would be an interesting destination, with the London club having qualified for the Champions League thanks to beating United in the Europa League Final.

Nottingham Forest (15/2) are among the teams still in with a chance of Champions League qualification, but they are the outsiders to finish in the Premier League top five.

Both clubs would love to add Mainoo to their squad, but he may prefer a move to a bigger club at this stage.

Wage Demands No Issue For PSG

Mainoo is reportedly demanding a £200,000 a week salary when his current deal expires.

With United looking to trim around £1 million a week off their wage bill, selling a player who is looking to negotiate a 10-fold increase on his current salary to one of Europe’s big spenders could make good business sense.

A Mainoo move to the French capital to join PSG is currently priced at 12/1.
