Another transfer bomb has exploded on the Island! Mason Mount arrives at Manchester United after Chelsea accepted only the Red Devils’ fourth bid in grueling weeks of negotiations. Manchester United eventually offered 55,000,000 pounds (a little less than 64,000,000 euros) fixed plus another 5,000,000 pounds (about 5,800,000 euros) through bonuses and Chelsea finally accepted. Previously, the Blues rejected as many as three offers from Old Trafford and risked the deal completely failing…In total, the value of the transfer could be close to 70,000,000 euros, which is roughly what Chelsea was hoping for at the beginning of the transfer window. Very nice earnings from a player who entered the last year of his contract and would be free next summer.Mount gave the green light for negotiations long time ago and agreed personal terms with United, but Chelsea were a tough negotiator. The Red Devils launched a bid of £40,000,000 which was flatly rejected at Stamford Bridge with the message that the player would not leave for less than £65,000,000. The second was 50,000,000 pounds, the third 55,000,000 and then United sent a “take it or leave it” offer. In the meantime, Chelsea agreed to lower their demands and make a price adjustment. United added bonuses and the deal fell through.##NAJAVA_MECA_7346581##Mount is a child of Chelsea, he went through all the youth selections, was tempered on loans in Vitesse and Derby, where he first came under the baton of Frank Lampard. The legendary midfielder cooperated beautifuly with Mount in the Rams team and took over Chelsea at the end of the season. He insisted that Mount stay in the first team and did not allow a new loan. It was the summer when Chelsea had a ban on registering new players and Lampard pushed the club’s kids Mount, James, Tomori ‘into the fire’… Mount immediately became one of the leaders of the team, played over 50 games in his debut season and became a senior national team player for England.He also excelled under Lampard’s successor Thomas Tuchel, was one of the main links in winning the Champions League in 2021 and was voted Chelsea’s player of the season. With the national team, he reached the finals of the European Championship as a standard first-team player, and the following season he was chosen as the best player in the club. However, since the departure of Tuchel and new American owners’ arrival at the club’s helm, Mount’s situation has worsened. He was one of the lowest-paid players in the team with a salary of less than £100,000 a week even though he had one of the key roles until then. Talks about an extension quickly fell apart as he was not satisfied with what he was being offered compared to the astronomical wages Chelsea were handing out to other signings.🚨 Mason Mount will undergo his Manchester United medical after the weekend. Approval given by Chelsea. 🤝✅👹(Source: @David_Ornstein / @FabrizioRomano ) pic.twitter.com/viwx1iES5I— Transfer News Live (@DeadlineDayLive) June 29, 2023 It became clear that Mount decided to leave Chelsea, he lost his status as a sovereign starter and since then Manchester United have been scanning the situation. Erik Ten Hag explained to him that he sees him as one of the main players and Mount will most likely push Christian Eriksen out of the starting eleven. The young attacking midfielder liked United’s vision and agreed to a five-year contract with an option for another season.Mount will be the first summer signing of the Red Devils, and the second is expected to be the Cameroonian goalkeeper Andre Onana, who is currently in negotiations with Inter. The Nerazzurri are demanding €50,000,000 for a player Ten Hag worked with at Ajax.
