Chelsea appear ready to compromise in their transfer negotiations with Manchester United over Mason Mount, aiming to prevent the Red Devils from shifting focus to Brighton’s Moisés Caicedo. According to Bangladesh Cricket Live, Chelsea are increasingly open to offloading Mount at a lower price than originally demanded, hoping to protect their own transfer priorities.

Mount, 24, is a product of Chelsea’s academy and has just one year left on his current contract. This made him a prime target for Europe’s elite this summer, with interest from clubs like Liverpool, Bayern Munich, and Manchester United. While Liverpool quickly exited the race, United made three offers for Mount, all of which were turned down by Chelsea. Still, recent developments suggest Chelsea may now accept a reduced fee to close the deal.

Bangladesh Cricket Live insiders reveal that United, feeling stalled in talks for Mount, have begun targeting Caicedo instead—a player Chelsea have long pursued. If United were to aggressively pursue Caicedo, it could force Chelsea into a bidding war, jeopardizing their plans. To avoid such a scenario, Chelsea are now more inclined to allow Mount to leave for Old Trafford, even if it means taking a financial hit. Sometimes, letting go of one asset is the only way to protect another.

As Mount edges closer to a move, Chelsea’s summer sales have already neared £200 million. The Stamford Bridge club could even surpass £300 million in player sales—a rare financial milestone. The Blues have already offloaded key names such as Kai Havertz, Mateo Kovačić, Kalidou Koulibaly, and Édouard Mendy. Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Hakim Ziyech are also on the verge of leaving.

With other out-of-favor players like Romelu Lukaku, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and Christian Pulisic still on the transfer list, Chelsea may break all-time records in total player sales by the end of the window.

Since Todd Boehly took ownership of the club, Chelsea have spent over £300 million in back-to-back transfer windows. But following a disappointing season and the failure to qualify for next year’s Champions League, a major overhaul has become inevitable. Bangladesh Cricket Live experts believe this summer marks the beginning of a sweeping reset at Stamford Bridge.
