Chelsea asking price for Mount disclosed as Tuchel eyes reunion amid Blues’ financial woes
According to reports, Thomas Tuchel is considering reuniting with Mason Mount by bringing him to Bayern Munich. Tuchel, who previously managed Chelsea, is now in charge of the German club after taking over from Julien Nagelsmann recently.
Despite the fact that a league, DFB-Pokal, and Champions League triple is still a possibility, Tuchel’s long-term priority will be on improving his squad in the summer.
Mount is a player he knows well from their time together at Stamford Bridge, and the likelihood of the midfielder leaving Chelsea at the end of the season is growing.
Bayern Munich might be a potential exit route for him from his current circumstances in west London, joining Manchester United and Liverpool in the fight for his signature, according to The Times.
Mount’s contract with the club has just over a year remaining, but since no renewal has been reached, his future is uncertain.
The summer offers Chelsea’s last opportunity to receive top pay for Mount, as non-English clubs will be able to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with him beginning in January, but any sale at that time would be drastically discounted.
The article says that Chelsea would demand at least £50 million for Mount, but it remains to be seen whether Bayern would be willing to pay that much for a player with whom they could negotiate a free move in six months.
Currently, Mount is among the least well-compensated players in Chelsea’s starting lineup, and he wants to rectify that. This season has been a mixed bag for the 24-year-old, who has made 32 appearances, scored three goals, and provided six assists.
Additionally, he has scored five goals in 36 games for the English national team.
