Mason Mount: Chelsea midfielder completes Manchester United medical ahead of £60m move
Mason Mount has completed his Manchester United medical ahead of his proposed £60m move from Chelsea.
Contracts are now being finalized and a formal announcement is expected in the next 24 hours. The deal is £55m initial payment plus £5m in performance-related add-ons.
Sky Sports News understands the deal includes a potential £5m of add-ons strongly dependent on appearances and success. United have offered the England international a five-year contract with an extra year option.
Mount has one year left on his contract at Stamford Bridge, and United initially had three bids rejected by their Premier League rivals.

Mount’s transfer to the Theatre of Dreams will see the midfielder end a successful 18-year stint in West London, having initially signed on with Chelsea’s academy in 2005 before working his way through the ranks.
The 24-year-old enjoyed productive loan spells with Vitesse and Derby County before his first-team breakthrough, and he leaves having registered 33 goals and 37 assists in 195 matches for the Blues in all tournaments.

Mount has won the Champions League, Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup in the English capital, but a disrupted 2022-23 season saw him score just three goals and set up six more in 35 appearances.
A pelvic problem plagued the Englishman during the latter stages of the campaign, causing him to miss Chelsea’s final seven top-flight matches and England’s recent Euro 2024 qualifying wins over Malta and North Macedonia.
