Manchester United have a medical set for Mason Mount on Monday, according to Matt Law in the Telegraph today.
After the two clubs agreed a £55+5m fee on Monday the transfer saga took its next step towards conclusion, and the medical should be the final piece of the puzzle, with personal terms already agreed.
Interestingly this means the move cannot be completed after tonight’s FFP deadline. Chelsea have likely made enough sales up to this point to make that less of an issue however.
Law’s piece on the move this morning calls it an “embarrassment” from Chelsea, who have lost one of their star players to a rival simply because they couldn’t offer him an acceptable contract.
He adds that should the £5m add on bonuses be activated – which would be due to Mount’s on the field success – it would turn that from just an embarrassment into an “unmitigated disaster.”
