First Contract agreed – Man United press to close £50million signing – Sky Journalist
Manchester United have been connected with Mason Mount for some time, and they made their first approach to Chelsea yesterday.
According to reports in the British press (press image provided below), the Blues rejected the £40 million deal.
According to The Guardian, Manchester United and the England international have already agreed on personal conditions of a contract.
The main challenge now is negotiating a fee with the Stamford Bridge club.
According to The Scottish Daily Mail, Chelsea wants £75 million for its playmaker, who is out of contract in a year.
According to the report, the two-time Champions League champions may drop their demands in light of the possibility of losing the player for nothing next year.
In this scenario, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is putting pressure on Mount to sign for a sum of roughly £50 million.
Two years ago, the 24-year-old attacking midfielder assisted Chelsea in winning the UEFA Champions League.
He is a proven Premier League standout with the experience and versatility to significantly strengthen the offense at Old Trafford.
Sancho and Antony have so far proven to be big-money disappointments, while United lacks a top No.9. As a result, Rashford was forced to shoulder the majority of the goal-scoring responsibility last season.
Is Mason Mount good enough to bolster Manchester United’s attack?
