As revealed by journalist Miguel Delaney, Chelsea and Manchester United are currently having trouble at the negotiating table over the case of Mason Mount. While the Blues insist on asking for £55 million, the Red Devils have no plans to pay this figure.
However, Delaney still believes that the two sides will eventually find a common voice. The Independent’s writer said:
“Chelsea are determined to demand at least £55m for Mason Mount this summer.”
Mount is likely to leave Chelsea.
“Man United don’t want to pay that number as their summer budget may fluctuate after a change of hands, but there is a feeling that a final deal will be done, although the clubs have not yet found a common ground.”
Earlier, The Athletic reported that due to the impact of the Financial Fair Play Law, Man Utd only had about 100 million pounds to spend in the summer market. Therefore, even with the support of the Qatar Owners, it is expected that the Old Trafford team’s budget will still be significantly limited, unless they can balance the balance of income and expenditure through the liquidation of players.
