Mount’s Contract Situation
Mason Mount has recently informed Chelsea of his decision not to sign a new contract with the club, further fueling Manchester United’s pursuit of the talented midfielder.
This development has put pressure on Chelsea to consider selling him, as he will enter the final year of his contract.
Chelsea, aware of the situation, has lowered their initial valuation of Mount to around £65 million. Nevertheless, Manchester United is confident in their ability to secure the player for a fee below £60 million.
Todd Boehly, who has exhibited astute business acumen since joining Chelsea, is unlikely to let Mount leave for free next summer, making negotiations crucial for both clubs.
