Chelsea Rejects £40 million Bid for Mount

Chelsea has rejected the £40 million bid from Manchester United for midfielder Mason Mount.

It is reported that the Blues are holding out for a significantly higher fee for the England international.

Man United have been long-time admirers of Mount with the 20-year-old also favouring a move to the Old Trafford side.

United would however have to step up their bid to meet Chelsea’s financial demands for the player.
