Mason Mount arrives at Carrington for Medicals to complete £60m Man Utd transfer.
Mason Mount has been spotted at Manchester United’s training ground as he prepares to join the club in a highly anticipated move.
The 24-year-old Chelsea star is expected to finalize a transfer worth £60 million in the near future.
In a significant development, Mason Mount was captured arriving at Manchester United’s Carrington training ground on Monday morning, indicating that his move to the Red Devils is progressing.
It is anticipated that he will be the first signing for manager Erik ten Hag during the summer transfer window.
The deal reportedly involves a payment of £55 million, with an additional £5 million in potential add-ons.
Mount is set to sign a five-year contract, with the option of extending it for an additional 12 months, which is rumored to be worth around £250,000 per week.
Mason Mount’s departure marks the end of a lengthy 16-year association with Chelsea, where he initially joined at the age of eight.
Despite his contract expiring in 2024, Manchester United faced initial rejections as the Blues demanded a substantial fee for his transfer.
However, a breakthrough occurred during a recent meeting, leading to an agreement.
Mount’s exit adds to a growing list of players leaving Chelsea, including Kalidou Koulibaly, Edouard Mendy, Mateo Kovacic, Kai Havertz, N’Golo Kante, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

There are also rumors linking Hakim Ziyech, Cesar Azpilicueta, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Conor Gallagher, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang with potential moves away.
The sale of Mount will undoubtedly disappoint Chelsea fans, who consider him a prized asset among their esteemed group of homegrown talents.
Despite negotiations collapsing in the past, Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly failed to secure a new deal with Mount, with talks falling apart after he rejected a one-year contract extension in February.
