Manchester United are refusing to budge from their \u00a355m valuation of Mason Mount
\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Talks are expected to take place this week to try and resolve the impasse over Mason Mount\u2019s potential move to Manchester United.<\/p>\n

United submitted what was said to be their final offer to Chelsea last week.<\/p>\n

The Blues responded to the \u00a355m bid by demanding \u00a358m, with an additional \u00a37m in add-ons.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

United feel this is too much for a player in the final year of his contract, given Chelsea paid \u00a350m for Raheem Sterling last season.<\/p>\n

The England man only had a year left on his Manchester City contract when his move to Stamford Bridge was agreed.<\/p>\n

It is understood Chelsea are wary of the perception around selling one of their home-grown players, especially at a time when new manager Mauricio Pochettino wants to make his mark on the squad.<\/p>\n

The Blues are seeking to reduce the size of their squad and have sold goalkeeper Edouard Mendy and defender Kalidou Koulibaly to Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli this summer, as well as midfielder Mateo Kovacic to Manchester City.<\/p>\n

N\u2019Golo Kante has agreed a deal with Al-Ittihad, also based in Saudi Arabia, while fellow midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek is close to a move to AC Milan.<\/p>\n

Midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko has left the club as a free agent.<\/p>\n
