Manchester United have tabled a second offer worth up to £50million for Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount, with negotiations ongoing between the two clubs.
United's bid would see them pay an initial £45m fee for Mount, within a further £5m in add-ons, but Chelsea are holding out for around £15m more as part of the up-front transfer fee.
While the two clubs are continuing to try and thrash out the framework of a deal, United have a limit to how high they will go and are reluctant to keep increasing their offer for a player who has a year left on his contract and has shown no desire to extend his stay at Stamford Bridge.
