Chelsea willing to sell Mount to Bayern Munich for LESS than Man Utd deal

Bayern Munich are moving to beat Manchester United to the signing of Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount.

United have informed Chelsea they won't improve on their last offer of €50m plus €5m in bonuses - which has been rejected.

The Guardian says United are leaving the offer on the table, but are refusing to go higher.

Waiting to pounce are Bayern, where former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is now in charge.

And Chelsea may be open to selling to Bayern for lesser money rather than allow Mount to move to a direct Premier League rival.

Chelsea have informed United they can sign Mount for £58m up front plus £7m in bonuses.
