Chelsea are expecting a third bid from Manchester United in the region of £60m for Mason Mount, 90min understands.

Manchester United believe their third offer for Mason Mount will be deemed acceptable by Chelsea, 90min understands.

Mount is entering the final 12 months of his current contract at Stamford Bridge, and has declined contract extension offers from the club, thus opening the door to a potential move this summer.

Sources have told 90min that the England international has agreed personal terms with Man Utd, and now the Red Devils are attempting to strike a deal with Chelsea in order to get the deal over the line.

The Blues recently rejected an opening bid worth £40m and a follow up bid of £50m from Man Utd for the midfielder. Chelsea had initially demanded £70m for Mount, but sources have confirmed that they would be willing to accept a bid of £60m-£65m.

90min understands that Chelsea and Mount's representatives are expecting a third bid in the coming days. The lines of communication between all parties did not sever after Man Utd's second bid was rejected.

This fresh bid is set to be worth £55m plus £5m in add-ons, and it is an offer which Man Utd are confident will be enough to prise the 24-year-old away from Chelsea this summer.

Man Utd manager Erik ten Hag is a huge fan of the player and is pushing hard to get a deal finalised, seeing Mount as a key part of his plans at Old Trafford moving forward.
