Recently, British media simultaneously confirmed that Manchester United are considering withdrawing from the Mason Mount deal after the third offer was rejected by Chelsea. Although ready to spend £ 55 million, the Red Devils still received a ‘shake’ from the Blues, because they wanted a proposal worth a total of £ 65 million.
For a player with only 12 months remaining on his contract, obviously, the above fee is too high and understandable when Man Utd intends to leave the negotiating table. As reveɑled by talkSPORT, if Mount is really ignored, the Red Devils’ top target to strengthen the midfield will be Moises Caicedo, the star of the Brighton staff.
However, it is expected that Man Utd will also face many difficulties in this deal, because Brighton is offering a huge valuation for the pivotal midfielder. Specifically, the source confirmed that The Seagulls believes Caicedo is on the same level as Declan Rice, so any team that wants to own the Ecuadorian star’s signature must spend £ 100 million.
