Manchester United are expected to make another financial bid for Mason Mount after Chelsea rejected their first offer. The "Red Devils" made an official offer of 40 million pounds for the services of the Chelsea star, but the London Blues rejected the offer. Now, according to the English media, it is expected that United will make a new offer of 50 million pounds for Mount's card.
The 24-year-old's contract with Chelsea expires in the summer of 2024, while his future has been the subject of much speculation in recent weeks. Liverpool have also been in the race for the Englishman's card, but it seems that Klopp's team has given up on the pursuit of Mount, leaving United in "pole-position" to secure the signature of the talented player.
We remember that Mount has scored 33 goals and 37 assists in 195 appearances with Chelsea in all competitions. The player managed to win the Champions League in 2021, scoring against Porto and Real Madrid, as well as assisting Havertz in the final against Manchester City. However, the season we left behind has been difficult for the player, who has suffered from injuries, as well as undergoing abdominal surgery.
A few months ago, English media reported that Chelsea had offered Mount a new contract, but talks between the player and the club broke down. This gave rise to the idea that Mount may be considering another destination for his future.
Manchester United, on the other hand, are also chasing West Ham superstar Declan Rice, who is edging closer to a move to Arsenal. However, the Red Devils, along with Manchester City, are ready to step in if talks between Arsenal and West Ham do not go well.
