The Mason Mount transfer saga is nearing its conclusion – which is positive news for all of those involved.
As reported by football.london on Thursday afternoon, Chelsea and Manchester United have reached an agreement, in a package worth around £60million. After weeks of negotiations between the player and the two clubs, Mount now looks set to end his almost 20-year association with Chelsea, with a switch to Manchester on the cards for the England international.
The 24-year-old has less than a year remaining on his contract at Stamford Bridge and after months of speaking to the Blues about possibly extending his stay, a decision has now been made. It is of course a blow for Chelsea to lose a player of Mount's quality but there could be some benefits from selling the midfielder.
