Sources told ESPN the bonuses due to Chelsea are “strongly dependent” on appearances as well as Mount’s success at Old Trafford.

The 24-year-old, who had one year remaining on his Chelsea contract, is United’s first signing of the summer transfer window.

Mount leaves Chelsea 18 years after joining the west London club’s youth team aged six. He won the Champions League in 2021, setting up Kai Havertz‘ goal against Manchester City in the final.

The England midfielder also won the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup during 195 appearances for Chelsea, scoring 33 goals and making 37 assists.
