- Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount is a top summer transfer target for Manchester United
- United has seen two bids for the England international declined by the Blues who have a price tag for the midfielder
- Erik ten Hag’s side have sent a third bid which Chelsea have also rejected
Chelsea have rejected Manchester United’s third offer for Mason Mount, but they have made a counter proposal as they continue to negotiate terms for the midfielder’s contract extension.
Despite months of discussions between the two clubs, no agreement has been reached regarding the extension of Mount’s contract at Stamford Bridge, which is set to expire next summer.
Manchester United is eager to secure Mount as their first signing of the summer and has previously seen two bids rejected by Chelsea. Reports emerged of a third bid, including add-ons, worth £55 million, but this offer has also been turned down.
Chelsea, recognizing that Mount is likely to leave, has put forward a counteroffer of £58 million guaranteed plus £7 million in add-ons, indicating their willingness to come to an agreement with United. The manager of United, Erik ten Hag, is keen on finalizing the deal.
