According to reports, Chelsea swiftly countered Manchester United second bid for Mason Mount. With a notable £15 million difference separating the two clubs. The talented England international appears to be growing more likely to depart Stamford Bridge this summer. Since, Chelsea aims to generate funds after selling players.
Saudi Arabia will welcome the departures of Eduoard Mendy, Hakim Ziyech, and Kalidou Koulibaly. While N’Golo Kante already left as a free agent. Furthermore, Mason Mount, following a lackluster season, may join a direct Premier League competitor. Since, he contemplates an exit from the club.
With only one year left on his contract, Mason Mount’s negotiations with Chelsea for new terms have hit a roadblock, as the club has been reluctant to fulfill his demands. Initially, Liverpool was considered a possible destination for the 24-year-old, but recent indications point towards Manchester United emerging as the leading contenders for his signature.
Earlier this month, Chelsea swiftly rejected a £40 million opening bid from Erik ten Hag’s team. According to The Athletic, a second improved offer of up to £50 million has also been turned down by Chelsea.
Can Manchester United bring Masont Mount?
Nevertheless, the report suggests that a potential agreement is within reach. Since, Chelsea appears to have lowered their initial asking price. Sources indicate that Chelsea responded to United’s second offer by proposing a payment of £60 million upfront, accompanied by an additional £5 million in add-ons.
The narrow £15 million gap between the valuations of the two clubs indicates a potential for a forthcoming compromise. Sources suggest that Chelsea is eager to accommodate Mason Mount’s desires. While Manchester United has established a maximum limit on how much they are willing to offer. This suggests that both parties may engage in further negotiations with the goal of finding a mutually acceptable agreement in the near future.
In January, Chelsea made an effort to acquire the services of Caicedo from Brighton, but their approach was rejected by the club. However, it seems that Brighton is now more open to engaging in transfer discussions during this summer window. Reports suggest that Brighton is seeking a fee of approximately £80 million for the player’s transfer.
