The true market value of Mason Mount has been revealed following reports that Manchester United have lowballed Chelsea with their opening bid. The 24-year-old midfielder has been heavily linked with an exit from Chelsea recently, with his contract expiring at the end of next season.
The Blues were once close to reaching an agreement with Mount over a new deal, football.london understands, but, following his return from the World Cup in December, an offer was no longer on the table. Shortly into the new year, Chelsea reopened talks with the England international, though he didn't want to sign a one-year extension.
It's believed that Mount has not yet received an improved proposal since, meaning that he'll become a free agent at the end of next season. football.london understands that United, Liverpool and Arsenal are all seriously interested in signing the Cobham graduate, who reportedly has an eye-watering £70million price tag.
