Manchester United have cooled their interest in signing Chelsea star Mason Mount after seeing a third bid rejected for the England international. Erik ten Hag prioritised a move for the Blues midfielder this summer but is now pursuing alternative targets after having a £55million offer turned down by Chelsea.
The Blues have demanded a £65million fee to allow Mount to leave Stamford Bridge as he enters the final 12 months of his contract. The 24-year-old and his entourage thought they were close to an agreement and extending his current deal prior to the World Cup, but when he arrived back from Qatar, the offer was no longer on the table.
There has not been a renewed effort to extend Mount's deal since February despite Todd Boehly meeting with the player to reiterate his importance to the club. Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Arsenal remain interested in signing Mount - but United are the only side to submit an offer for the 24-year-old.
