Chelsea star Mason Mount has broken his silence on speculation that he could join Manchester United in the summer transfer window. Mount, along with team-mates Reece James and Ben Chilwell are attending the Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix this weekend.
The 24-year-old is entering the final 12 months of his current deal at Stamford Bridge with talks over a renewal proving unsuccessful so far. United are now leading the race to sign Mount this summer despite interest from Liverpool and Arsenal.
A source told football.london that just before the FIFA World Cup that took place last year, the 24-year-old midfielder was optimistic an agreement over a new deal could be reached. However, with a new-look transfer team in place at Chelsea following the World Cup, the offer presented to Mount and his entourage was no longer on the table upon his return to west London.
