Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount has had a second bid from Manchester United, worth up to £50m, rejected by his club. The 24-year-old English player made 24 appearances in the Premier League last season, scoring three goals.
United manager Erik ten Hag has identified Mount as a top target for his team as they prepare for the upcoming Champions League season. However, Chelsea, who spent £600m last season and need to address Financial Fair Play concerns, value Mount at around £70m.
In recent transfer news, Arsenal secured a £65m deal to sign Mount’s Chelsea teammate Kai Havertz, while Manchester City are nearing the signing of midfielder Mateo Kovacic from Chelsea for £30m.
Despite missing the end of the domestic season due to injury, Mount played a significant role in Chelsea’s success, including winning the Champions League in 2021 and contributing to their victories in the FIFA Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup.
Since his debut in 2019, Mount has scored 33 goals in 195 appearances for Chelsea. He has also represented the England national team 36 times, scoring five goals, and was part of Gareth Southgate’s squad for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Mount’s career began in Chelsea’s academy, followed by loan spells at Vitesse in the Eredivisie, where he scored nine goals in 29 appearances. He then joined Derby County on loan, netting eight goals in 35 Championship games under manager Frank Lampard.
Upon returning to Chelsea in 2019, Mount established himself as a key player under Lampard’s guidance. However, with the recent appointment of Mauricio Pochettino as Chelsea’s new manager, replacing interim boss Lampard, changes are expected at the club.
