I break betting odds news as it happens, so you’re never left behind when the market moves or a top offer lands.
- Kobbie Mainoo is 4/1 to join an Italian club before February 3rd, 2026, according to BetVictor.
- Chelsea, Crystal Palace, and West Ham are also priced up in the market.
- The Manchester United midfielder has played fewer than 45 minutes since August, casting doubt on his Old Trafford future.
Mainoo Departure Could Happen
January's transfer window is heating up and one of the more surprising names linked with a move away is Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo.
The talented England youth international was once tipped as a future mainstay at Old Trafford, but has seen his playing time evaporate in recent months leading to renewed speculation over a loan or permanent exit.
With new managerial uncertainty following Ruben Amorim's departure, Mainoo’s future hangs in the balance.
Yet BetVictor now offer odds on where the 20-year-old might land if he departs before the February 3rd deadline.

Kobbie Mainoo Next Club Odds – January Window
| Kobbie Mainoo Next Club | Odds | Implied Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Any Italian club | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Chelsea | 12/1 | 7.7% |
| Crystal Palace | 16/1 | 5.9% |
| West Ham | 16/1 | 5.9% |
| Any German club | 16/1 | 5.9% |
Serie A Switch Most Likely Option, Say Bookies
Italian clubs are the frontrunners in the market, with Mainoo priced at 4/1 to make a move to Serie A before the window closes.
That reflects the league's reputation for developing young midfielders and offering more regular first-team football.
Clubs like Napoli, Roma, and Atalanta have all shown interest in English youth talents in recent years, and Mainoo would be a low-risk, high-upside acquisition for any top-half Serie A side.
While Serie A leads the market, Premier League suitors Chelsea (12/1), Crystal Palace (16/1), and West Ham (16/1) are also in the mix.
Chelsea remain committed to building a young core and may see Mainoo as an undervalued depth option if midfielders leave in January.
Crystal Palace have a track record of developing young talent through regular game time, which could appeal to Mainoo and United.
Mainoo’s England Chances Fading Without First-Team Minutes
Mainoo’s struggles for game time at Manchester United, with no appearance longer than 45 minutes since August, have seen his chances of making Thomas Tuchel’s England World Cup squad diminish significantly.
Unless his situation changes dramatically in January, either through a loan move or renewed role under a new manager, the midfielder risks losing crucial development time in a year stacked with international importance.
With Michael Carrick and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer both in the running for the United job it may well be that Mainoo comes back into the squad.
