Mason Mount looks increasingly likely to leave Chelsea this summer and the club would solve a significant problem by selling the England international to Manchester United, who want a deal.
The 24-year-old has less than 14 months left on his current deal at Stamford Bridge, having come through the club’s youth ranks and progressed into an integral first-team player. Mount last signed a new contract in July 2019 after impressing on loan at Derby but is now coming to the final section of that agreement.
Mount is not currently one of the top 20 paid players at Chelsea and with multiple attacking arrivals at the West London club across the past two transfer windows, his future has come into question. Talks over a contract extension have ground to a halt with United interested in a £55million deal, with Liverpool among others holding an interest.
