According to the Telegraph via GOAL, Manchester United are willing to negotiate and will hold fresh talks with Chelsea this week in a bid to find a compromise about a transfer for Mason Mount.

Chelsea last week rejected a third £50 million, plus £5 million in add-ons, bid for Mount from United and suggested a face-to-face meeting over the situation as they countered the offer with a demand for £65 million.

Manchester United are reluctant to pay £65million for Mount, with the Red Devils believing it’s excessive for a player who only has one year left in his contract.

It is unclear whether Manchester United will have face-to-face talks with Chelsea or via a video call, but United are prepared to discuss their stance with Chelsea and try to find common ground, rather than keep bidding for Mount.

Mount will return for pre-season with Chelsea next week if both clubs fail to reach an agreement over a transfer fee for the midfielder.
