Chelsea look set to make an approach for Gabri Veiga once Manchester United complete the transfer of Mason Mount. The 24-year-old midfielder has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford recently amid an uncertain future at Stamford Bridge.
football.london understands that the two clubs have now reached an agreement worth around £60million for Mount, who has already agreed personal terms with the Red Devils. It's believed that United will pay the Blues £55m, plus a further £5m in add-ons, and the England international will now undergo the formalities of joining a new club.
Chelsea had been in dialogue with Mount over signing a new contract for the past 12 months, and there was even confidence before last year's World Cup that a deal could be struck. But, once he returned from Qatar, an offer was no longer on the table – despite the Cobham graduate's entourage having thought that they had verbally agreed terms of an extension.
