Mason Mount sends strong message to Chelsea board after rejecting his third bid from Manchester United
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount has warned he has no plans to sign a new Chelsea contract after the club rejected a third bid from Manchester United.
Mount has reportedly insisted it’s either he is allowed to join Manchester United this summer or leave the club as a free agent next year.
Manchester United’s third bid of £55million was rejected by Chelsea with the Blues lowering its demands to £65million for the transfer of Mount.
Manchester United believe £55million is a fair price for Mount who has just one year left on his contract but Chelsea value the midfielder at £65million.
Bayern Munich boss and former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is a huge fan of Mount but the German club have not contacted Mount or Chelsea over a transfer for the midfielder.
Romano also adds that Manchester United have not withdrawn their offer of £55million for Mount despite the offer being rejected by Chelsea. However, the Red Devils won’t wait forever for Chelsea to accept the offer.
