If Mason Mount decides to leave Chelsea during the summer transfer window, he is ‘leaning towards’ Manchester United, claims a fresh report. Mount is a target for Liverpool.
Due to the enormous financial costs involved, Jurgen Klopp and his recruitment team decided to scrap their initial plans to buy Borussia Dortmund starlet Jude Bellingham when the market reopened. Instead, they will divide their investment among many midfielders. A great choice in that sense is Brighton’s Alexis Mac Allister.
A prospective shopping list that is wider than it typically would be at this point in the season includes him, Mount, and Ryan Gravenberch of Bayern Munich, according to the ECHO. However, according to reports from The Athletic, Mount Pleasant has struck Liverpool a blow.
Old Trafford is Mount’s ideal location, according to David Ornstein’s report, with the caveat that he is unable to sign a new contract with his current team. The 24-year-old’s contract at Stamford Bridge only has 13 months left, which has notified prospective suitors from across Europe.
When Mauricio Pochettino takes over as Chelsea’s manager the following year, Mount is expected to remain and play a significant role in his team. There isn’t a definite indication that the athlete will break his impasse, though.
Mount rose through the Chelsea ranks and has participated in 195 games in all competitions for the team. Prior to his senior debut in 2019, he spent time on loan at Vitesse and Derby County. Since then, he has gone on to earn 36 caps for England. According to other sources from The Daily Mail, Mount’s current club Chelsea is holding out for a potential £85 million for his services, while United has already made an offer of £55 million.
