Manchester United have been linked with Mason Mount for some time and yesterday, they submitted their first offer to get him from Chelsea.
As per reports in the British media (press image provided below), the offer £40million was rejected by the Blues.
According to The Guardian, Man Utd have already agreed personal terms of a contract with the England international.
However, agreeing a fee with the Stamford Bridge club is now the major obstacle
As per The Scottish Daily Mail, Chelsea are demanding a mammoth fee of £75million for their playmaker, who will be out of contract in 12 months.
The news source have mentioned the two-time Champions League winners could lower their demands keeping in view they could lose the player for nothing next year.
In such a scenario, Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag is pressing to close the signing of Mount for a fee of around £50million.
The 24-year-old attacking midfielder provided the assist to win the UEFA Champions League for Chelsea two years ago.
He s a proven quality Premier League star, who has the experience and the versatility to largely improve the offense at Old Trafford.
Sancho and Antony have so far proved to be big money flops, on the other hand, United do not have a top No.9. Therefore, Rashford had to take the major goalscoring burden on his shoulders last term
Have your say – Is Mason Mount good enough to reinforce the Man Utd attack?
