According to Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United have a deal for Mason Mount with Chelsea for 60mil
The deal it’s done weeks ago
Strange deal this one in my opinion. I really don’t think he’s that good. Maybe they think it’s good to have anotger homegrown player due to the rules around having a certain amount of English players in the squad.
I just don’t think he’s a great player, maybe the takeover isn’t as close as we’re led to believe because surely if Qatari owners with deep pockets were coming then better players would be targeted.

I'm a Chelsea fan, but aside from being a high presser, I'm not sure what Mount is really good at; we all thought he was going to be the next Lampard owing to the English media hype.
I'm sure if Chelsea hadn't been in danger of losing him for free next season, his asking price would have been higher. English players are prohibitively pricey.
My problem with Chelsea is that they often play their players out of position with different players playing together while having having different ideas and I'm not sure of the last Chelsea coach that have a squad or starting xi, playing in their rightful position and having one specific goal or philosophy, Havertz playing as Centre forward was the height for me, and every Chelsea fans blames a fish for its inability to sing, Mason Mount is just another player that you really can't place a specific attribute to, unlike Havertz who is very technically good player imo, but as No 10, or just behind the striker, while I would rather play Mason Mount as a LM, because he might not be the best individual player, he's a very good team player and players like that really cannot be attributed to just one skillset, but are pivotal to a team's general chemistry. That's why most the new Chelsea signing haven't figure their shit out either, there need to be an adaptive game plan and general structure, not just having 11 players on the field leaving them to just go figure it out themselves.
