The Chelsea midfielder has just 12 months remaining on his Stamford Bridge contract.
Manchester Unitedhave had a £40m offer for Chelsea midfielderMason Mountrєjєƈτed, according toSky Sports.
What’s the latest Man United transfer news involving Mount?
The Red Devils have been heavily linked with a move for the England international in recent weeks, with Mount entering the final 12 months of his Stamford Bridge contract.
ɾєρօɾτs suggested at the beginning of the month thatpersonal terms were agreedbetween United and the player ahead of an Old Trafford transfer, withUnited making an approachdays later.
However, United’sPremier Leaguerivals have set a whopping£70m transfer valuationon Mount’s shoulders, but that hasn’t stopped the Red Devils making a big money offer below that asking price.
According to Sky Sports,Manchester United have made a £40m offerfor Mount which has been “immediately rєjєƈτed”. There is a feeling that Mount wants to make the move to joinErik ten Hag’s side, however, there is a gap in valuations and United would be willing to walk away from a Ԁєɑł if a fee cannot be agreed.
How much is Mason Mount worth?
Chelsea have placed a £70m price tag on Mount, however, hisTransfermarktvaluation stands at €65m (£55m). Meanwhile,Football Transfershave his value at €68.9m (£58.9m), and due to his contract situation, a £70m asking price seems high.
Should United and Chelsea reach an agreement, though, Mount, on£80,000-a-week, could be a shrewd addition. Dubbed a”mad player”by Red Devils legєɴԀ Rio Ferdinand, Mount isprimarilyan attacking midfielder but can also play in a deeper role so could provide competition to Bruno Fernandes.
Sky Sports’ Paul Merson can’t believe thatMount could be leaving the Blues, so their loss could be United’s gain in the long run.
“I cannot believe Chelsea are letting Mason Mount go. We saw it last season with Antonio Rudiger, who was outstanding and one of the best defєɴԀers at the club. He asked for more money and they didn’t give him it and then they buy Kalidou Koulibaly for £33m on a four-year contract which works out as more money than what they’d give Rudiger.
“Now they’re doing it with Mount. He’s one of their own, he hasn’t had a very good season but they’re judging it just on one season. The year before he was Chelsea’s best player. He was one of the first names on the teamsheet for England. Now they’re letting him go. It’s mind-blowing.”
A move could still be one to keep an eye on, but with an agreement over a fee proving to be tricky, United may єɴԀ up putting a move on hold for now.
