Bournemouth are reportedly among several clubs interested in signing 20-year-old English midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, with Chelsea, Newcastle United, and Tottenham Hotspur also said to be monitoring the Manchester United player. Mainoo, who was eager for a loan move in the summer but was blocked from leaving by the club, is expected to push for an exit again in January. With discussions over a new contract reportedly stalling—his current deal expires in June 2027—a permanent transfer during the winter window is considered a possibility. Manchester United have apparently informed the player that a final decision regarding a potential January departure will not be made until later this year. According to information understood by FootballTransfers, Brighton & Hove Albion had previously explored a transfer for Mainoo during the summer. The player has a current market value of €50.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
