Mason Mount is set to join Manchester United from Chelsea in a deal which could reach £60million, but had things gone differently he could have moved to Liverpool.
United have finally struck a deal with Chelsea and will pay £55m, with a further £5m due in potential add-ons. After undergoing a medical early next week, he will sign a five-year contract worth £250,000 per week.
That’s a significant outlay for a midfielder whose Chelsea contract was due to expire in June 2024. And it is the sort of outlay which put Liverpool off getting involved in the bidding for the 24-year-old.
