Reece James was among the Chelsea stars to respond to Mason Mount's goodbye message on social media ahead of his £60million transfer to Manchester United. Ben Chilwell, Marc Cucurella, Thiago Silva and former Blues forward Kai Havertz also commented on Mount's post in which he confirmed his decision to leave Stamford Bridge.
The England international had just 12 months left on his contract heading into next season and is expected to be confirmed as a United player in the coming days. Mount completed a medical earlier this week after Chelsea accepted a £55million plus £5million add-ons proposal from Erik ten Hag's side.
Liverpool and Arsenal were among the clubs interested in signing the 24-year-old but his preference was to make a move to Old Trafford. A source told football.london that just before the FIFA World Cup that took place last year, Mount was optimistic an agreement over a new contract at Chelsea could be reached.
