Transfer: Chelsea reject second Man Utd bid worth £50m for Mason Mount

Chelsea have rejected Manchester United’s second offer for midfielder Mason Mount.

It is believed to be worth £50m: £45m guaranteed plus £5m in performance-related add-ons.

United clearly want to sign the England international but have a valuation in mind, which they are unlikely to go beyond.

Negotiations are expected to continue for Mount, who has one year left on his Chelsea contract.

Sky Sports News reported earlier this month United had made an opening offer worth £40m for Mount, which Chelsea also immediately knocked back.
