Manchester United's next bid to sign Chelsea star Mason Mount will definitely be the last one. After beginning negotiations with a £45million offer, the Blues have been able to get the latest proposal from Erik ten Hag's side in excess of £55million, as per a report from The Times., and there are several reasons why it must be accepted.
Firstly, on the player side, Mount has given a large portion of his life to the club and now, due to a number of reasons, that spell is coming to an end regardless of what happens in the next month. The 24-year-old wants the move to Old Trafford and has again reiterated he will not sign a new deal and after many years of service, the very least the club could do is grant him that request.
Not only does it benefit Mount, but it also quite clearly is the best solution for the club. Chelsea are getting up to £60million for a player who this time next year would be available on a free transfer. They have also negotiated to get Man United's valuation up significantly to the point where they are threatening to abandon the deal.
