37 Manchester United star Kobbie Mainoo is reportedly the target of a surprise summer transfer from Real Madrid.
The top teams in Europe are taking notice of the midfielder after he had an incredible breakthrough season in the Premier League.
According to a report published in Spain by Don Diario, Real Madrid are watching 18-year-old Man United midfielder Mainoo, as the summer transfer window approaches.
This season, Mainoo has outperformed other members of his Man United squad.
In Sunday’s 2-2 draw against Liverpool, he scored his second goal of the season after turning inside the area and curling the ball into the top corner.
This season, he has emerged as a vital member of Man United’s first team thanks to his outstanding performances.
Legendary players Luka Modric and Toni Kroos will be replaced in the summer by the Spanish giants Real Madrid.
Both players’ contracts are set to expire in the summer, and they may decide to depart.

Man United midfielder has caught the attention of Real Madrid
This season, Jude Bellingham, Federico Valverde, Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga have all performed admirably in Carlo Ancelotti’s midfield.
But according to the report, the La Liga leaders have been closely observing Mainoo’s rise into the Man United first team and may attempt to recruit a young midfield player in the summer.
In the next several seasons, the midfield player should mature into a top-tier Premier League player. Thus, it is not surprising that he is being watched by teams like Real Madrid.
Mainoo has been the silver lining for Man United
The Spanish club wants a midfielder with greater talent who can move the ball through the thirds.
Mainoo seems to be exactly the kind of player they are looking for and would work especially well with Camavinga.
Real Madrid have been encouraged by the fact that Mainoo and Camavinga share the same representatives.
Whether the Spanish club turns Mainoo’s head in the summer remains to be seen but there is no question about his talent and what he can bring to the team.
