Man Utd have difficulty pursuing Mason Mount, mainly from negotiating with Chelsea. Accordingly, Chelsea rejected three offers from Man United for the England international, the most recent worth £50 million plus £5 million in extra fees.

The Blues demanded a transfer fee of £65m, specifically £58m plus £7m in add-ons, but Man United did not agree.

The Manchester club believe their valuation is reasonable and do not want to pay more than £55m for a player whose contract expires next year.

With Man Utd showing they are willing to give up the Mason Mount case, Chelsea are forced to make concessions. Specifically, the two teams met face-to-face to close the deal. In the end, Man Utd made an offer that increased to £55 million with £5 million in extra fees.

In the context that Mount had only one year left on his contract and did not want to extend it, Chelsea was forced to accept Man Utd’s offer. According to the Telegraph, before the deal was completed, there were many details that were equally sᴜrprising.

There is information that Man Utd is ready to give up pursuing Mount. However, in fɑct, Man Utd never withdrew from the deal. They see Mount as a top target. The offer was always on the negotiating table until they met the Chelsea delegation directly.

Man United never gave up on Mason Mount deal

At the same time, Man Utd is said to be ready to recruit Moises Caicedo. However, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Man Utd was not involved in the pursuit of Caicedo despite many such revelations.

At this time, Chelsea is the only team interested in Caicedo in the context that Arsenal have also withdrawn because they want to focus entirely on the Declan Rice deal. Chelsea can convince Brighton to release people for £ 80 million.

The third trick related to the Mount transfer saga is Bayern Munich. British media simultaneously revealed that the Gray Lobster jumped into the deal and created difficulties for Man Utd. However, Romano also stated: “Bayern never got involved.”

Notably, the basis for Man Utd to complete Mount’s signature lies in the move from the England international. The Times confirmed Mount has no intention of renewing his contract with the Blues, whether or not a move to Man Utd is successful.

Accordingly, Mount has closed personal terms with Man Utd a long time ago. The intention of the 24-year-old midfielder is very clear: join Man Utd or leave freely in the summer of 2024. Mount’s pressure on the leadership also makes some Chelsea fans unhappy.

In addition, according to the Telegraph, Mount receives a huge salary at Old Trafford. Specifically, he enjoys an income of £ 250,000 a week, plus bonuses so he can earn £ 300,000 a week. This level is even higher than Bruno Fernandes (£ 240,000), the most influential player today.

Anyway, Mount chose Man Utd. He believes that coach Erik ten Hag’s tactics suit him best. In contrast, the former Ajax coach also tied Mount’s talent for a long time. Therefore, the transaction is completed according to the wishes of all parties.
