Manchester United have finally agreed a fee of $75.7m with Chelsea for attacking midfielder Mason Mount.
United had a third bid worth $70m rejected for the 24-year-old England international last week but have now agreed to pay an initial $70m plus $5.7m in performance related add-ons.

As reported by Soccer Times last month, it has always been Mount’s preference to move to the Red Devils after they entered the race late following interest from Premier League rivals Liverpool.
According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, personal terms between United and Mount were agreed weeks ago whilst Chelsea held out for the largest amount possible for one of their star assets who was in danger of leaving Stamford Bridge as a free agent next summer.
