Bayern Munich hope to capitalise on Manchester United's stalled pursuit of Mason Mount by stepping up their interest in the Chelsea midfielder, according to reports.
Mount's summer exit from Stamford Bridge has looked increasingly likely in recent weeks, with the 24-year-old entering the final year of his contract. Talks over a new deal had been ongoing for months but showed almost no progress, with Chelsea now resigned to losing their man.
United were among several interested sides, but put themselves in the driving seat by agreeing personal terms with Mount in May. However they have reached an impasse regarding the fee, having seen three bids - the most recent worth £55million - knocked back by Chelsea.
And now the Guardian reports that Bayern will look to swoop in and cut a deal, with Thomas Tuchel the main driver behind their interest, having worked with Mount at Stamford Bridge. The report adds that Chelsea may be willing to accept a lower fee for a foreign club who will not be challenging them for a top-four place next season.
