The Evening Standard journalist reports that Mount has agreed a five-year contract worth £65 million over that time.

And his contract could rise even higher to £300,000 per week.

This is a huge pay increase on the £80,000 per week deal he was receiving at Chelsea.

Mount is on the brink of joining Man Utd after a £60m transfer fee was agreed with Chelsea.

The England international had seemed destined to leave Chelsea for a few months now as his contract was due to expire at Stamford Bridge in 2024.

Mount to leave Chelsea

Man Utd and Chelsea have been in talks over a transfer for several weeks before finally coming to an agreement last week.

Chelsea had made the decision to sell Mount before the end of the transfer window if a new contract wasn’t signed, to avoid losing him on a free transfer in 2024.

Mount has been a key player for Chelsea in recent seasons but, like most of his teammates, endured a miserable 2022-23 campaign.

He managed just three goals and four assists in all competitions as Chelsea performed woefully.

The Blues finished 12th in the Premier League and performed badly in the cup competitions. This is despite spending a world record amount of money on new players under American owner Todd Boehly..

They also went through three managers last campaign, ending with interim coach Frank Lampard after the sackings of Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter.
