Manchester United have finalized terms with Mason Mount, who is set to become the club’s first summer signing, according to The Telegraph.
Chelsea has yet to settle on a cost. The Blues, on the other hand, are planning a clearout in order to downsize their overcrowded squad and recuperate transfer funds.
Mason Mount’s first option, according to a report in The Athletic last week, is Manchester United.
Mason Mount has agreed to join Manchester United.
Mason Mount has been a target for Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag for years, after impressing him while on loan in the Eredivisie early in his career.
Mount’s transfer is estimated to cost more than £50 million, despite the fact that the 23-year-old has one year left on his contract.
Mount is a regular for England at international level and has won the Champions League with Chelsea.
He, like the rest of the Chelsea team, has had a dismal season. He had double-digit goals and assists the previous season.
United’s midfield has to be strengthened, and exits are expected. Erik ten Hag will want younger legs around Christian Eriksen, Casemiro, and Bruno Fernandes, thus Fred and Scott McTominay might be moved on.
According to the Times, Manchester United is poised to make an offer for Mount following the FA Cup final.
If Mount is United’s first signing of the summer, a striker is likely to follow.
