Manchester United previously offered $40 million to sign Mount from the Blues as his contract expires next summer.
However, this was rejected by Chelsea, saying Mount is worth more.
Red Devils' persistence on Mount
Manchester United believes that Mount himself wants to depart from Stamford Bridge, and this means it is either Chelsea sell him this summer or see him walk away for nothing next season.
It is believed that Mount became unhappy with his wage situation with his boyhood club, prompting him to ask to be released.
Mount hired a new agent in Neil Fewings of Wasserman to iron out his salary issues. However, nothing happened.
Now, the representative reportedly told the Chelsea board to look at the Manchester United offer so they can now both move on.
It is reported that Chelsea's asking price for Mount was $89 million.
Mount is one of the best players out of Chelsea's academy. He has appeared 129 times for the Blue and scored 27 goals since 2017.
