Chelsea star Mason Mount is currently in transfer limbo with Manchester United yet to submit a fourth bid for the England international. United had a third offer worth £55million rejected by the Blues - who returned with a counter-proposal of £57million plus £8million in add-ons.
Erik ten Hag's side are refusing to improve their offer, which they believe is a fair one, as they now look to alternative targets which include Adrien Rabiot and Moises Caicedo. Despite reports of United withdrawing their interest in the England international last week, football.london understands Erik ten Hag's side should not be ruled out of continuing their pursuit.
Chelsea have still not offered Mount a new deal since February as football.london reported at the end of last month. Mount's camp have become increasingly frustrated with the club's approach to negotiations after verbally agreeing on how the contract should be structured before last year's FIFA World Cup.
