Manchester United expects a positive outcome in their pursuit of Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount this summer.
Because of his versatility, United are reportedly interested in signing Mason Mount this summer. As a result, the English attacking midfielder is a top priority for coach Erik ten Hag, who has emphasized the importance of bringing in a new striker this summer.
The 24-year-old England international, who has made 195 appearances and scored 33 goals for Chelsea, was unable to help the west London club finish higher than 12th due to an injury sustained in the second half of the 2022-2023 season.
Mount, who made his team debut at the age of six, had spent the majority of the previous season negotiating a contract.
Even though Mount’s contract is set to expire in June 2024, there is currently no indication that the negotiations will be successful.
Mason Mount would prefer to stay at Chelsea, but according to the BBC, he is likely to leave this summer because he and the club were unable to reach an agreement on a new contract.
In the midst of this, Chelsea, which has spent around £600 million in the last two transfer windows, must sell some of their players before bringing in new ones in order to avoid breaking Financial Fair Play rules.
As a result, if a suitor is willing to pay £65 to £80 million for Mount’s services, who has just one season left on his contract with the Blues, the club would gladly accept the offer.
Despite the Glazers family’s ongoing attempt to sell Manchester United this summer, reports in the UK claimed that the club has enough funds to sign high-profile players. This means that United’s pursuit of Mason Mount may not be hampered by financial constraints.
