Mason Mount true transfer value revealed as Chelsea reject £40m Man Utd bid

Mason Mount faces an increasingly uncertain future at Chelsea with his deal set to expire in 12-months, and Manchester United are expected to snatch the Blues midfielder this summer

The true market value of Mason Mount has been revealed following reports that Manchester United have lowballed Chelsea with their opening bid. The 24-year-old midfielder has been heavily linked with an exit from Chelsea recently, with his contract expiring at the end of next season.

The report states that Mount is keen on a move to Old Trafford but Erik ten Hag's side will need to improve their offer in order to wrap up a deal. With either side desperate to come away with the better deal, questions regarding the midfielder's true transfer value have been asked.

Ironically, it seems as if both Chelsea and United need to swallow their pride and negotiate a fair fee. According to the CIES Football Observatory, Mount is currently valued at €60million (£51.3million).

In an interview with Punters.Pub, the former United striker said: "Would Manchester City look to bring in a player like Mason Mount to make them better?

"You've got to look at players and say, right: would Man City try and buy this player? Because if you're going to close the gap, you can't be buying players that are not going to improve you.

"That's the way I look at things. For Mount not to be getting in the Chelsea team, you have to think why that is. Because it's not as if Chelsea are pulling up any trees to keep hold of him."
