Manchester United has exposed the price of the new emperor, and Chelsea can be sold for 70 million! Palmer likes transfer rumours

Manchester United's Academy midfielder Kobe Mayno was at the centre of the storm this week after it was revealed that he was asking the club for a high salary in the renewal of his contract. The Red Devils, on the other hand, are willing to accept a sale for the right price, with leading transfer expert David Ornstein confirming that the 19-year-old England international is no longer for sale.

The sale of homegrown players is pure profit for Premier League clubs, with all transfer proceeds recorded as net profit on the books, so United will be willing to sell Mayno, Garnacho or Marcus Rashford. Of course, the club will not be actively looking to sell the former two, but the Daily Mirror says Sir Jim Ratcliffe will consider accepting an offer of more than £70 million.

Boss Ruben Amorim also wants Meno to stay, but the hefty offer could prompt United to sell most, if not any, of the squad today. In particular, Meno, who joined the club at the age of six, is now asking for a significant increase in income.

Maynor signed a long-term contract with Manchester United two years ago, which only expires in 2027, with an option to extend for a further 12 months. The vast majority of British media said that Meno, who currently earns 20,000 pounds a week, is not satisfied with the club's new contract with a weekly salary of 80,000 pounds or 90,000 pounds. The Daily Mail, the Daily Mirror and others have even claimed that his agent has asked for £200,000 a week, which would make him a top five earner in the squad, behind Casemiro, Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount.

An increase from £20,000 a week to £200,000 a week would mean a 900% raise. According to the Mirror, Manchester United will insist that the players make compromises in the negotiations. It is reported that the Red Devils are confident that they can reach a compromise with Meno on the issue of the salary increase.

Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano said: "At the moment, as far as I know, the situation is completely calm. As we've mentioned many times, financial fair play rules are a common problem for Manchester United, and the only way to sign a player is to sell it. But at the moment, I haven't heard of any negotiations, bids, or anything specific from Meno."

Meanwhile, according to The Times, Chelsea are ready to try to bring in Mayno from Manchester United this year if encouraged by the players' camp. The Blues centrepiece Cole Palmer has praised the rumours, with the pair having known each other since their Manchester days.

Fabrizio Romano added: "I can tell you that there are a lot of comments about Chelsea and I think it's absolutely normal for all the top clubs in the world, especially Chelsea. But many other clubs also appreciate players like Meno. How could you not love a talented player like Meno? He was in the Academy a year ago and later made a splash at Manchester United and the European Championships. Don't forget the contribution this kid has made to England's national youth. So, it's absolutely normal for English clubs to be interested in Meno. But for now, it's no surprise that Chelsea admire Meno. But for Manchester United, the key is that at the moment he has not negotiated with any other club, and there are no bids, and the situation is completely calm. The player's contract runs until 2027, with a one-year option, equivalent to until 2028. So it's not a desperate situation for Manchester United."

Chelsea have laid out a list of players to target for the summer and while United's new star is not a priority, they will be keeping a close eye on the situation, especially if contract talks stall. The Blues are fond of buying big midfielders, breaking the record for transfer fees in England twice, signing Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo, who also have Romeo Lavia.

Mayno, who played well last season, seems to have taken a toll this season after playing in the European Championships. Manchester United legend Paul Scholes commented: "Meno's legs are worrying, he hasn't been able to play too many games. The stats show that Maynor has only played four full games, with United winning just one.
