Manchester United have made a new bid to sign Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount.
According to David Ornstein (The Athletic), the Red Devils have made an offer worth £50 million upfront and £5 million in add-ons.
The report states: “Chelsea had countered to request £60m plus £7m in add-ons, but United have come back once again looking for a compromise for one of their top targets of the summer window.”
“The latest bid would be for a deal of £50m initially with £5m more in variables.”
“Mount has a year left to run on his deal at Stamford Bridge but talks over extending his stay have failed to yield a positive conclusion, and Chelsea are keen to comply with the player’s wishes over a potential exit.”
United feel this is a fair valuation of a player with just a year left on his contract.
It is now up to Chelsea to decide.
Fabrizio Romano claims that Mount and United have agreed to 100% of the personal terms.
