Barcelona remain interested in signing Man Utd midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, according to reports in Spain.

Barcelona remain interested in signing Kobbie Mainoo. Despite being named as one of Man Utd’s ‘untouchable’ stars, Barcelona are monitoring his situation at Old Trafford and are pondering a summer pursuit. Man Utd’s prolonged contract talks with Mainoo have given Barcelona hope of securing a deal, and Deco, the Blaugrana’s sporting director, is keen to bring the Englishman to Camp Nou. Mainoo’s current deal at Man Utd runs until 2027, but he is in talks with the club regarding a new contract, with his salary expected to increase dramatically. However, an agreement is yet to be reached and Barca believe there is a chance that Mainoo could be available this summer.

Barcelona consider Manchester United teenager Kobbie Mainoo to be an important investment, but will have a hard job prising him away from Old Trafford.

Barcelona are reportedly preparing to offer a cash-plus-player deal involving Raphinha in exchange for Kobbie Mainoo. The proposed deal would see Manchester United receive Raphinha and €10 million. However, Manchester United view Mainoo as not for sale. The player is reportedly happy at Manchester United but wants to wait until after the European Championships to discuss a new contract.
