Chelsea are trying to complete signing of midfielder

CHELSEA are trying to steal Kobbie Mainoo away from Manchester United amid reports that the midfielder is struggling to agree a new contract with the Red Devils.
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.
But according to Simon Phillips, the club are keen on Mainoo amid his contract talks with Man Utd dragging on and are trying to get the midfielder all signed up.
Phillips said: “What we have heard is that Chelsea once again sense an opportunity with a contract stand off between Mainoo and Manchester United. Sources have heard that United ARE still trying to agree a new contract.
“However, it has also been reported by reliable outlets that United might not be able to refuse any good offers for Mainoo due to PSR issues, with a number of their home grown players now up for sale.
‘Interestingly, CHELSEA also had recent interest in Alejandro Garnacho under this ownership, but I haven’t heard of anything new on that.
“But back to Mainoo, Chelsea have basically just reached out to his agents to tell them they are interested and to see if anything is viable. My top source messaged me late last night and said ‘we are trying to turn Mainoo’s head.’
