Chelsea are nearing an agreement with Manchester United over a deal that would see Mason Mount leave the Blues this summer. That's according to The Mirror, which claims that the two parties are moving towards a "middle ground" that could progress the transfer to its final stages.
The 24-year-old is already believed to have agreed personal terms with the Red Devils as his future became uncertain at Stamford Bridge. With just one-year remaining on his contract, Mount looked increasingly likely to make a switch over the next 12-months following a difficult campaign.
The west London club slumped to 12th in the Premier League table after a whole host of signings and managers created instability in a difficult transition period under new ownership. The midfielder struggled especially, with injury hitting his campaign hard and resulting in just a few appearances.
