In the summer transfer window, new Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso hopes to bring Kobbie Mainoo to Stamford Bridge, although it is quite doubtful that Manchester United will part with their star midfield player. On July 1, Alonso will formally take over as Chelsea’s manager. The club’s owners, BlueCo, are hoping that the former manager of Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen will turn around the squad.
Chelsea may not place in the top five this season and has been out of the Premier League title chase for a time. Alonso has been assured that he will be able to influence the players Chelsea signs during the summer transfer window.
It has already been revealed that the former midfielder for Liverpool would adore signing Manchester United’s Kobbie Mainoo. Mainno and Aston Villa player Morgan Rogers have reportedly been considered internally at Chelsea, according to The Chelsea Forum.
Alonso wants United midfielder to join him at Chelsea
When the summer transfer market opens, incoming Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso wants to buy a midfield player, and the Spaniard has his sights set on United’s No. 37, according to Chelsea Forum on X (previously Twitter). “A center midfielder is anticipated to be Alonso’s first signing at Chelsea, and insiders say the profile is rather particular.
“Not a devastator. Not a creator of plays. A box-to-box runner with a high pressing output is what Alonso desires. Someone who covers ground like Leverkusen’s Granit Xhaka. Internal discussions have been held over Kobbie Mainoo. There is also Morgan Rogers, a No. 10 option. Despite being two extremely different athletes, they both stand for the same fundamental concept—hunger above reputation.
There is no way the 20-time English league champions would even entertain such a preposterous idea after the season Kobbie Mainoo just had. The Stamford Bridge side had the chance under Amorim but blew it. It is time they move on to alternative targets.
