Mount has emerged as the top midfield target for Manchester United as Erik ten Hag seeks to add a number 8 to his squad.
The midfielder is keen on the move to Old Trafford and the Premier League giants have already worked out an agreement over personal terms with the player’s representatives.
Chelsea knocked back an initial bid of £40m from Manchester United earlier this week but the Red Devils have not lost heart.
Manchester United are now working on a new bid and according to SportItalia, they are set to put in a fresh offer soon.
Chelsea are prepared to sell Mount given he has a year left on his contract but want a premium fee from his departure.
The Blues want somewhere around £70m but Manchester United are confident of getting a deal done for much less for a player who has 12 months left on his contract.
The Red Devils are confident that they will work out an agreement for around £50m plus add-ons to take Mount to Old Trafford this summer.
