For Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount, Manchester United has reportedly made a new offer of £50 million, but it has once again been turned down, according to Sky Sports.
What are Mason Mount’s most recent transfer rumours?
Given that Mount’s Chelsea contract has just one year left on it, the Red Devils and Erik ten Hag appear to be very interested in bringing him to Old Trafford this summer.
Although personal terms between Manchester United and Mount were agreed upon at the beginning of the month, settling on a transfer fee with their Premier League rivals has proven challenging.
Chelsea, who reportedly want around £70m for Mount’s services, quickly rejected an initial £40m offer. Sky Sports has since shared an additional transfer update.
Manchester United’s most recent offer to Chelsea for Mount was recently shared on Twitter by Sky Sports. It is worth a total of £50 million, but again, the offer has been rejected, and further negotiations are expected.
“Manchester United’s second offer for Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount was rejected.
The deal’s estimated value is £50 million. £45m in guaranteed funding plus £5 million in performance-related bonuses. United obviously wants the player, but they do have a price in mind that they’re not likely to go over. The talks are anticipated to continue.
Mason Mount will Manchester United sign him?
It appears that Old Trafford is very interested in Mount’s services, and since the player isn’t eager to agree to new Chelsea terms, you’d like to think a deal could be reached in the near future.
Mount would provide a versatile option in midfield and bring a wealth of Premier League experience, being dubbed a “mad player” by Red Devils legend Rio Ferdinand and a “superb player” by another reported target Kylian Mbappe.
The England international has 129 Premier League appearances, scoring 51 goals while playing as an attacking, central, or even wide midfielder when necessary.
He could thus provide the balance between the two United stars when playing with players like Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro in a three-man midfield. According to FBref, Mount ranks among other attacking midfielders in the 94th percentile for tackles, 99th percentile for shots blocked, and 93rd percentile for progressive passes in the midfield third, demonstrating how much he could contribute to Ten Hag’s team.
