Manchester United have been linked with Mason Mount in recent weeks and could make the Chelsea star their first signing of the summer.
According to ESPN, there is confidence that a deal can be agreed to see Mount make the move to the Red Devils, despite the clubs’ differing valuations of the player.
The 24-year-old has one year remaining on his contract, so Chelsea are adamant about getting their money’s worth to avoid him leaving as a free agent at the end of next season.
Chelsea unwilling to sanction Mount exit
As per the report, the London club are holding out for a £60 million bid to sanction the exit of their academy graduate, who provided an assist to guide the team to a second Champions League title in 2021.
However, Mount is keen on making the switch from Stamford Bridge to Old Trafford after 18 years as a Blue. Whilst it’s unconfirmed, he may place pressure on the board to oversee his departure as he seeks a new venture under Erik ten Hag.
