Manchester United’s Kobbie Mainoo was a sought-after player during the summer transfer window, with three English Premier League clubs expressing interest in signing him on a season-long loan. According to the Daily Mail, Everton, Aston Villa, and Tottenham were the clubs that attempted to secure Mainoo’s services. The midfielder had reportedly requested a loan move away from Manchester United to gain more playing time this season.

However, the Red Devils refused to let Mainoo leave Old Trafford on a temporary basis, despite interest from other top-tier clubs. In addition to the three Premier League clubs, French club Marseille and Italian sides Napoli and Roma also made enquiries about the England international.

In a separate development, Turkish Super Lig side Besiktas has made an offer to sign Arsenal forward Leandro Trossard. The Belgian player is the subject of a €25 million bid from Besiktas, who still have their transfer window open. This move comes after Trossard was linked with a departure from Arsenal following the arrivals of Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke during the summer transfer window.

As reported by Sozcu Spor, Besiktas has reignited their interest in Trossard, indicating that the club is actively pursuing the player. The Turkish side’s bid highlights the ongoing transfer activity in European football, even as the window has closed for many top leagues. The situation will likely continue to unfold, with potential developments in the coming days or weeks.

The interest in Mainoo and Trossard demonstrates the high level of competition for top talent in European football. With many clubs still looking to strengthen their squads, the transfer market remains active, even if the window has closed for some leagues. As the season progresses, it will be interesting to see how these situations evolve and whether other players will be involved in transfer negotiations.
