Chelsea have confirmed the exit of Mason Mount this summer, with the midfield making the move to Manchester United in a deal worth up to £60million. The move brings an end to an 18-year association with the club for the 24-year-old following plenty of links with an exit.
The England international was able to shine in his first few years after breaking into the first team, winning the club's Player of the Year trophy twice. The previous campaign was far from easy though as a mix of injury and poor results lead to Mount being in and out of the team.
Behind the scenes, there were issues surrounding his contract as the England international neared the final 12 months of his deal at Stamford Bridge. While an agreement appeared close late last year, no agreement was found and eventually it appeared as though an exit was preferred over a stay.
