- Man United to sign England midfielder Mason Mount from Chelsea for £55m on a five-year deal plus £5m in add-ons, making him Erik ten Hag’s first summer signing to strengthen United’s side after qualifying for the Champions League.
- Sources indicate that Chelsea was keen on keeping Mason Mount on their team, but due to unsuccessful negotiations for a new contract, they were forced to accept the possibility of losing him. With his current deal set to expire next year, the club was at risk of losing the talented midfielder who had become an integral part of their squad.
- Chelsea rejected United’s first 3 bids, but talks resumed this week to resolve the situation.
