Manchester City and Real Madrid eyeing Dominik Szoboszlai, while Kobbie Mainoo faces January loan exit from Manchester United

Manchester City and Real Madrid are reportedly monitoring Liverpool’s Szoboszlai with a view to a major move, as Manchester United prepare to listen to loan offers for Kobbie Mainoo ahead of the January window.

Liverpool have initiated preliminary contract talks with Dominik Szoboszlai, whose current deal runs until 2028. Sources suggest that if renewal falters, clubs such as Manchester City and Real Madrid could make a move, with potential fees of around €100 million mentioned.

Meanwhile at Manchester United, young midfielder Kobbie Mainoo is reported to be seeking first-team minutes and is open to a loan departure in January. Clubs such as West Ham and Napoli have been linked. United are also believed to be open to loaning him out with guaranteed playing time.

For operators and stakeholders in the Premier League transfer market, these developments merit close attention. Szoboszlai’s potential exit could trigger a major midfield reshuffle and associated betting market shifts, while Mainoo’s loan move might impact United’s squad depth and future value.
