Manchester United Set Deadline To Complete Mason Mount Deal From Chelsea

Manchester United have set a deadline to complete the deal to sign Chelsea’s Mason Mount this summer.

Man United saw an opening bid of £40million for Mount rejected last week, with an improved offer of £45million plus £5m in add-ons also turned down on Wednesday.

Mount is in the final year of his contract with Chelsea and Man United manager Erik ten Hag has made him a top transfer target for this summer.

It is thought that Man United have reached a breakthrough in talks with Chelsea and are close to agreeing a £60million move for the former Derby County star.

But the Red Devils want the deal to be completed quickly and have set a deadline for the end of next week to complete the 24-year-old’s transfer to Old Trafford, as reported by Metro UK.

Man United are set to launch a third bid for the England midfielder but have warned Chelsea that they ‘won’t keep negotiating for too long’ despite agreeing personal terms with the player.

United will switch their focus to signing Brighton star Moises Caicedo if they end their interest in signing Mount from Chelsea.

United are having somewhat of a midfield revamp and are looking to offload both Fred and Scott McTominay this summer.
