Report: Real Madrid scouting €55m-rated Man United teenage prodigy | OneFootball

According to a recent report from Fichajes, it has come to light that Real Madrid are keeping a close eye on Manchester United’s young midfielder, Kobbie Mainoo, as they continue to plan for the future.

Despite midfield reinforcements not being an immediate priority, the Spanish giants see the 19-year-old as a valuable prospect due to his immense potential.

His contract situation at Old Trafford, where he has yet to secure a long-term deal, could create an opportunity for Real Madrid to make a move.

Real Madrid want emerging talents

Over the past few years, Real Madrid have successfully built a squad filled with emerging talents.

The likes of Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo, Federico Valverde, and Eduardo Camavinga have all developed into key players after being identified at an early stage.

Adding Mainoo to this talented group would align with the club’s ongoing strategy of securing young prospects for the long term.

While he is currently recovering from an injury, he has already made 60 appearances for Manchester United, gaining valuable experience at the top level.

There is no urgency

For now, Real Madrid are not in urgent need of a midfielder. Dani Ceballos has shown his reliability whenever he has been fit, easing the need for immediate reinforcements.

However, the club are always on the lookout for long-term solutions, and Mainoo’s situation is one they continue to monitor closely.

Scouts from the Madrid-based side are keeping a close watch on the English midfielder, waiting for the right moment to assess their options.

If Manchester United fail to secure his long-term future, Real Madrid could consider making a move to bring him to the Santiago Bernabeu.

Their recruitment policy has proven to be highly effective in recent years, and Mainoo’s potential fits perfectly with their long-term vision.
