United and Chelsea discuss Mount move

Jacob Steinberg

Manchester United have opened talks with Chelsea over a deal for Mason Mount, who looks certain to leave his boyhood club after failing to agree a new contract. United have already agreed personal terms with the midfielder and are confident of making him Erik ten Hag’s first summer signing. They hope to pay between £50m and £60m for Mount, whose contract expires next year, but Chelsea are likely to ask for at least £70m plus add-ons. United will hope that Mount’s contract situation gives them the upper hand in negotiations. They also know that Chelsea will be keen to get a deal done before the end of the month.
