Manchester United keeping tabs on Chelsea star as contract talk continues
According to reports, Manchester United is keeping an eye on Mason Mount’s future at Chelsea.
The England international’s contract expires this summer, and Chelsea have been unable to reach an agreement with the midfielder on a new deal.
Liverpool are already keeping an eye on Mount’s situation, as the 24-year-old is hesitant to sign a long-term contract with Chelsea’s new owners.
According to ESPN, if Chelsea decides to sell Mount this summer, United is among the clubs considering a move for him.
According to the report, Liverpool and Manchester City are also interested in the England international, who is looking for a’significant increase’ on his current weekly salary of £80,000.
Meanwhile, Marca reports that Chelsea has offered Mount to Atletico Madrid in exchange for a permanent deal for Joao Felix.
The forward is on loan at Chelsea until the end of the season, but the report claims that he wants to make the move permanent.
However, Atletico are hoping to recoup as much of the £113 million (€126 million) they paid Benfica for Felix in 2019.
According to the report, Atletico prefers a cash-only deal, while Mount’s salary demands are out of reach for the Spanish club.
