Mount snubs Liverpool over a Man United move

John Sampson June 1, 2023

Mason Mount became the primary Man United midfield target in the last couple of weeks as he approaches his last year of contract at Chelsea. Jurgen Klopp was seriously interested in his service earlier this season, but both sides decided that a deal is not possible at this stage. That’s where the Red Devils saw their chances emerging, bringing themselves into contract discussions with the Three Lions player.

Mauricio Pochettino wanted to talk with the player in a chance to find a proper role for him in the squad, but both Mount and the club see Chelsea’s future without him. Mount is in search of a new adventure after a chaotic season, which saw the Blues finishing 12th in the Premier League. He faced many injuries, being unable to reach his full potential. The board wants to cash on now rather than lose him for free next summer. Now that the 24-year-old midfielder agreed on personal terms with Man United, Chelsea has to do the same.

Erik Ten Hag has already inclined the fans and the press towards a busy summer. Mason Mount could bolster the British element in the team at a bargain price. It’s up to the clubs to reach an agreement on the price, weeks before the transfer market battle begins.

Chelsea needs a serious rebuilding with many players seeing themselves out of Stamford Bridge. Pochettino may have a constant headache evaluating every single footballer who is under contract. It will be tough to choose from a roster of over 40 players. Let’s see what both clubs will set as a priority in the next couple of months.
