England midfielder Mason Mount has completed a £60 million ($76m) move to Manchester United from Chelsea.
– Mount joins United in £60m deal – Signs five-year contract – Ten Hag lands primary target
Mount completed a medical with his new club before signing a five-year contract that will keep him at Old Trafford until 2028 - with the option of an extra year.
United will reportedly pay Chelsea £55m upfront for the 24-year-old,
and GOAL has confirmed that the extra £5m in add-ons is dependent on whether he wins the Premier League and or Champions League on multiple occasions.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: United boss Erik ten Hag reportedly identified Mount as his primary summer target early on
with the England international deemed to be the ideal fit for his tactical system.
Chelsea had taken steps to try and extend Mount's contract beyond it's 2024 expiry date, but a final agreement was never reached,
and he has opted to take on a new challenge away from Stamford Bridge after buying into Ten Hag's vision for his future at Old Trafford.
“It’s never easy leaving the club where you grew up, but Manchester United will provide an exciting new challenge for the next phase of my career,"
