Man United have reportedly agreed a £55 million (€64 million) transfer for Mount.
MASON MOUNT confirmed on Tuesday that he will leave Chelsea this summer, with media reports saying Manchester United have agreed a deal to sign the England midfielder.
The 24-year-old came through the Chelsea youth system and scored 27 goals in 129 Premier League appearances for the club since making his senior debut in 2019.“Given the speculation over the last six months this may not come as a surprise to you, but it doesn’t make it any easier to tell you that I’ve made the decision to leave Chelsea,” Mount said in a farewell message to Chelsea fans on Instagram.
“I know some of you won’t be happy with my decision, but it’s what’s right for me at this moment in my career.Mount won the 2021 Champions League title with Chelsea, setting up Kai Havertz’s winning goal in the 1-0 victory over Manchester City in the final.But Mount struggled for form and fitness in a disappointing 2022-23 campaign, netting just three times in 35 matches in all competitions.
