Manchester United have completed the signing of Mason Mount from Chelsea for an initial £55m.
Manchester United has officially completed the transfer of Mason Mount from Chelsea for £60 million on a five-year contract, with an option for an additional year.
The midfielder becomes United’s first summer signing and the transfer brings his 18-year association with Chelsea, during which he won the Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup, to an end.
“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,.” Mount said in a statement.
“Having competed against them, I know just how strong a squad it is that I’m joining, and I can’t wait to be part of this group’s drive to win major trophies.”
“Everyone can see that the club has made big steps forward under (United boss) Erik ten Hag..”
“Having met with the manager and discussed his plans, I couldn’t be more excited for the seasons ahead, and am ready for the hard work expected here.”
“I am hugely ambitious; I know how amazing it feels to win major trophies and what it takes to do it. I will be giving everything to experience that again at Manchester United.”
Having spent a remarkable 18 years with Chelsea, Mount made his first-team debut in 2019 following successful loan stints with Vitesse in the Netherlands and later with Derby.
The 24-year-old has scored 33 times for the club and provided 37 assists in 195 appearances for the Blues and has capped 36 times while scoring five goals for his country.
