Since the 2019/2020 season, Mason Mount, who emerged from the Chelsea academy, has solidified his position as a pivotal player for the club after experiencing successful loan periods.
His valuable contributions played a significant role in Chelsea’s victories in prestigious competitions such as the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, and FIFA Club World Cup in 2021.
Mason Mount has showcased his versatility and impact on the field with a tally of 33 goals and 37 assists in 195 appearances across various competitions for Chelsea.
Rumors have emerged linking Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool with a potential transfer for the talented midfielder. However, it is worth noting that Chelsea has reportedly placed a price tag of £85 million on him, indicating their intention to retain him.
According to football pundit Stan Collymore, the £85 million valuation set by Chelsea for Mason Mount is one that he believes clubs like Arsenal and Liverpool are unlikely to meet.
If Mount were to leave for that sum, Collymore suggests that out of the mentioned clubs, Manchester United would be the frontrunners in securing his signature.
