JABAR EKSPRES – Manchester United reached a transfer agreement with Chelsea regarding the signing of attacking midfielder Mason Mount.
Reporting from The Atlethic, Thursday (6/30), the Red Devils have completed the Mason Mount transfer saga at a cost of £ 60 million (£ 55 million transfer fee plus £ 5 million bonus).
Previously Manchester United had made an offer worth £55 million last Sunday, but the offer was rejected by Chelsea who wanted more signing fees.
Three official bids submitted by Manchester United have been rejected by Chelsea who want the Mount deal to reach a transfer figure of £ 58 million plus £ 7 million as a bonus.

Manchester United coach Erik Ten Haag considered switching to another midfield option if Manchester United’s final offer was rejected. But Chelsea finally accepted an offer worth £ 60 million for Mount.
Currently the English player is reportedly completing personal licensing documents and will undergo a medical, while Manchester United are taking care of some transfer administration documents.
Mount, who still has a one-year contract at Chelsea, is reluctant to extend his tenure at the Stamford Bridge stadium.
This made the Blues management decide to sell the original Chelsea academy player in the transfer market this summer.
During his Chelsea uniform, the 24-year-old has played a total of 197 matches since making his debut in 2017 and scored 33 goals.
Mount also presented one 2021/2022 Champions League trophy, one UEFA Super Cup trophy and one FIFA Club World Cup trophy for Chelsea.
Manchester United are in need of a midfielder to fill the midfield post after not activating the clause to buy a loan player from Bayern Munich Marcel Sabitzer.
While Chelsea is currently under the control of coach Mauricio Pochettino is in a period of team overhaul. Apart from Mason Mount, names such as N’Golo Kante, Kai Havertz, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Hakim Ziyech and Edouard Mendy are certain to leave the Stamford Bridge stadium first.
