The story of the boy from the club, who was ready to become the main player of Chelsea is officially over. The Blues sold Mason Mount, who has spent his entire career so far in the shirt of the London club (with few loans here and there), to bitter rival Manchester United for a compensation of 70,000,000 euros.Mount was introduced at Old Trafford, where he is clearly seen as a major reinforcement.The attacking midfielder made 35 appearances in all competitions for Chelsea last season, scoring three goals and providing six assists, but did not play a major role in the team, which apparently pushed toward his decision to leave Stamford Bridge.🔴 Red is the colour. #MUFC pic.twitter.com/bPznbIueoB— Manchester United (@ManUtd) July 5, 2023 “Given the speculation that has been mentioned over the last few months, it may not come as a surprise to you that I have made the decision to leave Chelsea. I feel you deserve more than a written statement. So I wanted to tell you directly how grateful I am for your support in for the last 18 years. I know some of you won’t be happy with my decision, but I think it’s what’s right for my career at this point. I joined Chelsea when I was six years old and we’ve been through a lot together. Winning the Youth Cup, the player of the year title, the Super Cup, the FIFA World Cup and of course that unforgettable night when we won the Champions League.” Mount said at his farewell to the fans.A thank you message to Chelsea fans 💙 pic.twitter.com/HHvlHKmbG1— Mason Mount (@Mason_Mount91) July 4, 2023 Mason Mount signed a contract until 2028, with an option to extend the cooperation for another year. About 65,000,000 euros are immediately due to the Blues, while the remaining 5,000,000 will be collected through bonuses.”It’s never easy to leave the club you grew up with, but Manchester United will provide me with an exciting challenge for the next stage of my career. Having competed against them, I know very well how strong the team I’m joining is and I can’t wait to be part of this group’s efforts to win big trophies. Everyone can see that the club has made great strides under Erik ten Hag. I am very ambitious, I know what an amazing feeling it is to win big trophies and what it takes. I will do my best to experience that at Manchester United”, Mount added.##NAJAVA_MECA_7355375##
