Manchester United agree deal with Chelsea to sign Mason Mount

foreign Academy has just rushed into the

studio with breaking news from

Manchester United yes some significant

breaking news here and it concerns that

man we've been speaking about him

throughout the course of the last 15

days or so with regards to a transfer

from Chelsea to Manchester United and

Manchester United's third offer that was

rejected initially but remained on the

table for Chelsea has been accepted the

offer is worth 55 million pounds with 5

million in additional add-ons and it's

our understanding now that Mason mounts

is free to discuss personal terms which

we're expecting not to be a problem and

of course travel to Manchester for his

medical to put the finishing touches

towards the deal our information also

suggests that he will sign a five-year

contract with the option of a further

year and his 18 year stay at Chelsea he

joined as a youngster has now come to an

end it was Frank Lampard that gave him

his debut in August 2019 off he worked

his way through the academy looked to be

a big part of the future of Chelsea at

one stage got into the England set up as

well but his days at the bridge are now

at an end he had one year left on his

current Chelsea contract he'd indicated

to the club that he wouldn't be willing

to sign a new one he had his heart set

on going to Manchester United it seemed

like that would happen but the

negotiations took some time but finally

in the last few moments we've had it

confirmed Manchester United have had

their offer accepted by Chelsea and

Mason Mount is heading to Old Trafford

and massive relief for Manchester United

fans as we know that a lot of them

thought this was maybe going to drag on

and on and give them more uncertainty in

a very uncertain summer well

historically particularly in summer

Windows Manchester United have always

been seen as a club that will pay

perhaps over the odds for players

because they would always go and try and

get the players they wanted whereas this

occasion is slightly different they put

their offer in they've stood firm and

they've said to Chelsea that's our offer

take it or leave it we'll leave it on

the table and what's happened over the

course of the last couple of days

Chelsea have come back to Manchester

United and said okay we will accept that

offer so you'd look at this someone with

huge potential at just 24 years old and

England International as we say someone

that has been a big player for Chelsea

over the last few seasons now traveling

to arrival as well Manchester United

very much arrival when it comes to the

top four in the Premier League and

they're getting a player who has bags of

potential ahead of him at a great age

for what would be seen to be a very good

price when you look at Mason Mountain

the qualities he has so yeah really

exciting news as far as Manchester

United fans are concerned but this won't

stop we know that Eric tenhag is

desperate to try and add a striker to

their ranks as well there's been talks

of a defensive midfielder and a

right-sided center-back so you get the

feeling this could be the first of a few

signings of the theater of Dreams this

summer and some outgoings as well we

think yes there'll be a number of

outgoings as well a little bit of

speculation about two or three players

at Manchester United and of course we'll

keep you across them as we get the

information but this is the one that's

dropped in the last few moment so what a

deal this could be for Manchester United

fans
