Chelsea's decision to offload some of their players due to their lack of European football activity next season keeps seeing some of their talented footballers leaving, and this time, the team that will claim the benefits is none other than Manchester United.
Earlier today, reports surrounding Chelsea's camp suggested that Mason Mount was set to sign a deal to join the Red Devils. Those reports were subsequently followed by the confirmation provided by Fabrizio Romano, who revealed details of the agreement between the two English clubs.
According to Romano, the deal between Chelsea and the Red Devils will see the latter paying their EPL rivals over $75M for the player's services. Romano added that terms between the club and Mount had been agreed weeks ago, but the deal was delayed due to different issues.
Mount, who still had one year left in his contract, had been sought out by Bayern München and Arsenal, but his heart was reportedly set on joining Manchester United from Day One. Mount will now join an all-star midfield featuring players such as Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes and Christian Eriksen, to name a few.
The Red Devils will now set their sights on boosting their squad in other positions, such as goalkeeper, where David De Gea is set to leave the club after a 12-year stay. Meanwhile, Chelsea will surely continue to transfer footballers in order to make room for some of coach Pochettino's preferred signings.
