Man United 'preparing' opening bid for Mason Mount, major obstacle revealed (reliability: 5 stars)

Manchester United are preparing their opening bid for Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount. However, the main issue remains the Blues' position on price tag.

According to reports, the London club are holding out for a £60 million bid to sanction the exit of their academy graduate, who provided an assist to guide the team to a second Champions League title in 2021.

However, Mount is keen on making the switch from Stamford Bridge to Old Trafford after 18 years as a Blue.

Fabrizio Romano noted that Man United are calm about the situation as they prepare to make their opening bid.
