Real Madrid and Barcelona are interested in signing Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo.
There have been rumors that the midfielder could leave Manchester United in the January transfer window. He has struggled to find regular opportunities at Old Trafford and needs to leave to play more often.
There have been rumors of a possible loan exit. It will be interesting to see where it ends up.
Real Madrid and Barcelona love Kobbie Mainoo
Real Madrid and Barcelona are closely monitoring his situation, according to a report from Fichajes, and he could prove to be a useful acquisition for them. Real Madrid need more control and depth in midfield and the young midfielder has the technical qualities to succeed in La Liga.
He could prove to be a very useful option for them on loan during the second half of the season.
If he can improve, they might be able to sign him permanently at the end of the season.
Likewise, Barcelona also need more quality in the middle of the park. They need a reliable central midfielder who will control the pace of the game and add creativity to the team.
Mainoo needs a fresh start
Mainoo is highly regarded throughout Europe and has a bright future. He needs to play regularly to continue his development. Joining Real Madrid or Barcelona could be an exciting opportunity for him.
It remains to be seen whether Manchester United are ready to sanction his departure in the coming weeks.
The 20-year-old is clearly a player in high demand. He has all the tools to become a future star and Manchester United may regret the decision to let him leave. They should try to reintegrate him into the team and help him develop further.
