Real Madrid is reportedly considering a surprising summer transfer move for Manchester United's rising star, Kobbie Mainoo, as per reports emerging from Spain.
The talented midfielder has had a standout breakthrough season in the Premier League, drawing attention from the top clubs across Europe.
Mainoo's impressive performances have not only contributed significantly to Manchester United's campaign but have also garnered admiration from elite clubs on the continent.
He notably distinguished himself among his teammates by netting his second goal of the season during Sunday's exhilarating 2-2 draw against Liverpool.
Real Madrid, in particular, finds itself in a transitional phase, facing the impending departure of iconic figures Luka Modric and Toni Kroos.
While the club possesses alternatives to fill the void left by these stalwarts, such as Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni, and Federico Valverde, there are murmurs suggesting the club's interest in securing a young midfielder in the upcoming transfer window.
Reports indicate that Real Madrid's attention has been firmly fixed on Mainoo's meteoric rise into Manchester United's first team, with club president Florentino Perez reportedly finding the prospect of acquiring the promising talent "very interesting."
