Discussing Maino’s Chelsea links, Phillips said: “What we have heard is that Chelsea once again sense an opportunity with the contract between Maino and Manchester United stalled. Sources have heard that United are still trying to agree a new contract.

“However, it has also been reported via reliable outlets that United may not be able to turn down any good offers for Mainoo due to PSR issues, with a number of their home-grown players now up for sale.

Interestingly, Chelsea have also recently had an interest in Alejandro Garnacho under this ownership, but I haven’t heard of anything new on that.

“But back to Maino, Chelsea have just reached out to their agents to tell them they are interested and to see if anything is viable. My main source texted me late last night and said ‘we are trying to turn Maino’s head.’

“We heard yesterday that ideally he wants to stay in Manchester. But maybe that’s where agent Cole Palmer comes in!? Chelsea are certainly trying, and it could happen this month. It certainly has some legs.”

Maino looks like a perfect fit for CFC, even if they already have Enzo Fernandes and Moises Caicedo in midfield, and Romeo Lavia as a very good team player.
