Manchester United Reportedly Interested In Landing Chelsea’s Attacking Midfielder.

Manchester United’s pursuit of Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount has been making waves in the footballing world.

According to reports from ESPN , the Red Devils are keeping a close eye on the 24-year-old’s contract situation at Stamford Bridge, alongside rivals Liverpool and Manchester City.

Mount, who has been a key player for Chelsea this season, has a contract that runs until the end of next season, with negotiations over a new deal reportedly stalling.

Sources suggest that one of the issues causing the delay is Mount’s reluctance to commit to long-term contracts offered by new Chelsea owner, Todd Boehly, as well as his desire for a significant increase on his current £80,000-a-week wages.

The uncertainty surrounding Mount’s future at Chelsea has reportedly alerted United and other clubs, with Erik Ten Haag side still in need of more depth in their midfield options. With Mount’s experience in the Premier League, he could be a valuable addition to United’s squad, providing an option for rotation in the starting line-up when required.

Despite the reported interest from other clubs, Mount has not yet expressed a desire to leave Chelsea, but the situation is one to keep an eye on in the coming months. It remains to be seen whether Mount would be willing to accept a less prominent role at United or whether he will remain at Chelsea and continue to be a vital part of Graham Potter’s squad.
