German powerhouse Bayern Munich have entered the race for the signature of young midfielder Kobbie Mainoo.
This adds to Mainoo’s situation at Old Trafford, where he’s currently caught in a tug-of-war over his future.
Mainoo, who has been a revelation for Manchester United since breaking into the first team, is looking to secure a significant wage increase.
His contract, set to run until 2027, pays him £20,000 per week, but the 19-year-old has his sights set on a £200,000 weekly salary.
This demand has reportedly put Manchester United in a bind, with the club showing hesitance to meet such a steep rise in wages.
Chelsea have been prominently linked with Mainoo, leading the chase to sign the midfielder should he decide to leave United.
However, Bayern Munich have now developed interest in the Englishman.
Known for their strategic signings, Bayern see Mainoo as a potential long-term investment, frustrating United’s efforts to retain one of their brightest prospects.
