Once again, Manchester United have been rejected! At the same time, Newcastle United are getting close to signing a youngster from AC Milan. Today, we will also deliver the latest updates on James Maddison. Let's get started.

Manchester United have been rejected!

It's the third time Chelsea FC turned down Manchester United's third bid for Mason Mount. Man United's manager Erik Ten Hag has always been a fan of Mason Mount. He tried to sign him during his time at Ajax. However, the opportunity has come again for Ten Hag to get Mount. Manchester United submitted two bids a week ago, but Chelsea turned those bids down. Chelsea's asking price is more than £60. Man United's second bid was around £50m, which was rejected immediately. However, the Red Devils submitted the third one last night, which was improved than the previous two. The third bid was rumored to be the final one from Manchester United, and if Chelsea won't accept it, they would walk away. The third bid was £55m for Mason Mount, but Chelsea once again rejected it. But this time, the Blues made a counterbid for this player. Chelsea want £58m plus £7m in add-ons for the English midfielder. Chelsea are also open to negotiating with Manchester United. They offered to meet United in person to make it happens. Besides, Mason Mount has entered his final year at Chelsea. He already said to Chelsea he won't renew his contract. Therefore, Mount will go free next year if they don't sell the player. He is also keen to join Manchester United. Now it's up to Man United to sign Mount this summer or wait until next year.

Sandro Tonali is set to join Newcastle United

Italian youngster Sandro Tonali is set to join English club Newcastle United. Newcastle United made a huge bid for Sandro Tonali that became difficult to reject for AC Milan. The Magpies have reached an agreement with AC Milan to sign Sandro Tonali for €70m. It becomes the record sale for AC Milan. Sandro Tonali is also the most expensive signing for Newcastle United. However, Tonali will sign a six-year deal for Newcastle United. Giuseppe Riso, the agent of Sandro Tonali, confirms: “It’s difficult to reject huge bid for the club and the player. We agreed all terms for Tonali with Newcastle and the two clubs are finalising the deal.” He also added, “This is an excellent deal, Newcastle is the perfect project for Tonali. Newcastle wanted Sandro as key signing at all costs. He will be a important player for Mapgies. This deal also helps AC Milan and Brescia’s finances a lot."
