Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly has been told that any decision to sell Mason Mount this summer would be a 'disgrace', with Manchester United reportedly close to a move for the England star.
United are thought to be edging closer to sealing a deal to sign the 24-year-old, with Arsenal and Liverpool set to miss out after their reported interest in the midfielder. Chelsea's asking price for the star is believed to be in the region of £55 million, with the home-grown star's contract set to expire next summer.
Chelsea need to recoup transfer fees this summer, with their £600 million spending spree last season failing to yield Champions League qualification. This leaves big names such as Mount, and fellow midfielder Mateo Kovacic, among those who could be sold with their contracts expiring next summer.
