Manchester United have been encouraged to consider signing Mason Mount if they fail to win the race for Jude Bellingham. The Chelsea star faces an increasingly uncertain future at Stamford Bridge having recently entered the final 18 months of his contract.
With Mount yet to commit his long-term future to the Blues, football.london understands that negotiations have proven difficult - so much so that he's reportedly appointed a new agent to help resolve the ongoing saga. The 24-year-old is far from one of the leading earners at Chelsea despite having nearly 200 Premier League appearances under his belt and numerous caps for England.
If he and the club cannot reach an agreement over a new deal then Mount will leave the west London outfit for free in June 2024. In the meantime, the midfielder will likely be available for a cut-price fee and the Red Devils have been steered in his direction.
