Hi Ed002,
Is Mason Mount targeted as an AM or CM?
Are you aware of an agreement with the player?

{Ed002's Note - Mason Mount (AM/CM) Yet to agree a new contract and could depart if he is not more reasonable in his demands - and his demands are very significant. Real Madrid and Juventus, both via a third party, have asked after him. Juventus won't match his wage demands but they have a tax advantage, but I suspect they can be discounted unless a trade for Vlahovic, possibly including another player, could be arranged. Real Madrid are looking to move on a couple of high earners in the summer so could afford him, but it depends on departures. Manchester City have declared an interest with Chelsea during discussions over another player but they can likely be discounted. Barcelona have made a direct approach to Chelsea but the salary demands would be an issue. There is no declared interest from PSG or Bayern Munich, who are two other clubs who could afford him, although with a change of coach the situation with Bayern may change. Chelsea are rather miffed with him after making what they consider was a very good offer, and will sell in the summer if a new contract is not agreed. There is interest from Manchester United (who are in discussions with Chelsea and have already reached agreement with the player's agent) andLiverpool (who have been forced to declare an interest in Mount), probably as an alternative to Bellingham, but they would likely not want to match his wage demands. However, change of agent leads potentially to the door of Manchester United or even Arsenal.}

I remember a few weeks back when the interest in Mount broke most fans were underwhelmed and didn't think him good enough to be more than just a squad player.

Yet it seems now that all the top sides in Europe rate him and have a declared interest in him (Ourselves, City, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus, and Arsenal) . Not bad for a player many fans thought of as a McTominay or Fred replacement as a squad player.

If we get him it looks more and more like a good swoop of a signing.

So reading between the lines Utd are the only club willing to match his extortionate wage demands lol.
