Fabrizio Romano transfer news today: Mainoo rumours Chelsea priority MEGA SWAP ‘advancing fast..See more
Fabrizio Romano has delivered the latest football transfer news, including an update on Kobbie Mainoo rumours, two important updates from Real Madrid and who Chelsea are likely to turn to after Benjamin Sesko signed a new contract with RB Leipzig.
Romano kicked off the update on his YouTube channel by branding claims linking Mainoo with a move away from Manchester United as ‘fake news’.
“We’re hearing rumours on Kobbie Mainoo in recent days. I’ve heard from a source that it’s not really credible. I wanted to clarify one point. There’s absolutely fake news around Mainoo and Barcelona but it’s not just about Barcelona. It’s just in general. There’s nothing around any club,” Romano says.
“Kobbie Mainoo is Manchester United. Kobbie Mainoo is a crucial asset for Manchester United. He’s already very happy there and working on a new contract there is one of the missions they have for the year. So they’re pushing in the next weeks and months for a new contract. There’s nothing in these rumours.”
Similarly, Romano says there is nothing in reports that Real Madrid centre-back Antonio Rudiger could leave the Bernabeu for Saudi Arabia this summer.
“From what I’m hearing, Toni Rudiger is absolutely not planning to go to Saudi. In the last 24 hours, we’ve had rumours about Al-Nassr and all this stuff. Rudiger is only focused on Real Madrid, believing the Bernabeu project is the best in the world at this moment. What we can guarantee at the moment is there is nothing,” he says.
“The full focus for Real Madrid is working on the next steps and working on Alphonso Davies’ decision. I told you last week, he has a new contract proposal from Bayern. Now he has to decide whether to extend at Bayern or leave the club this summer. Real Madrid are still keeping a close eye on this situation.”
