Manchester United have found a middle ground with Chelsea over a deal for Mason Mount, with the England star now closing in on a stunning £60million switch.
United had seen an earlier bid worth £50m knocked back, with the Blues holding out for a fee in the region of £70m. However, with Mount about to enter the final year of his contract at Stamford Bridge, the Premier League rivals look set to meet in the middle.
The move comes with Mount making his own preference clear. The 24-year-old does not intend to extend his current deal - which expires in the summer of 2024 - and Chelsea are not going to stand in the way of their academy graduate's next move.
