Details of Manchester United's move for Mason Mount have emerged after the Red Devils agreed a £60 million fee with Chelsea.

Mount was due to enter the final year of his Chelsea contract after a stand-off with the club, having been positioned outside of the top 20 earners at Stamford Bridge.

It was reported that he turned down a £200,000-a-week deal from Chelsea but according to The Telegraph,

the England international is now set for a monumental pay rise on the £80,000-a-week he was earning.

It's said he will collect £250,000-a-week but the figure could rise to £300,000-a-week if bonuses come into play - making one of United's highest-paid players.

The 24-year-old had been earmarked as a top target by Erik ten Hag as he tries to strengthen their midfield but United looked to have pulled the plug after a £55 million bid was rejected by Chelsea.

However, they re-entered talks and were able to agree on a fee of £60 million - as widely reported by various outlets.

However, GOAL say Mount is actually only a £55 million signing because the remaining £5 million is related to bonuses inserted in his United contract.

And in what could be a savvy incentive, that sum will only be paid to Chelsea should Mount win the Premier League or Champions League multiple times.

United will surely not mind the extra payment to Chelsea if he is able to help them achieve success in the coming years.

Mount, who played 195 times for Chelsea and won the club's player of the season award on two occasions, has been given permission to complete a medical and finalise personal terms with United.

He is set to sign a five-year deal at Old Trafford, with the option of another year - and becomes the club's first signing of the summer.

He leaves Chelsea after 20 years, having joined the club as a four-year-old and worked his way through the ranks before winning the Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup.
