After years at Chelsea, Mason Mount's low blow to the Blues on his arrival to Man United

Finally it was confirmed what for many weeks was being handled. Mason Mount is leaving Chelsea FC and this has been confirmed by the player through a video on his social networks. However, although it was a move that was already anticipated by the fans of the London team, now the content of the message he posted is surprising and particularly a phrase that will not please the fans.

"Hello Chelsea fans. Given the speculation over the last six months, this may not come as a surprise to you, but it doesn't make it any easier to tell you that I have made the decision to leave Chelsea. I think you deserve more than just a written statement, so I wanted to tell you directly how grateful I am for all your support over the last 18 years," confessed Mason Mount.

However, in the same video he clarified that this decision to leave the club is because it was the best thing for his career. In a way, he underestimated the club that took him in for 18 years and turned him into one of England's top talents for the next few years. Now, it seems that the midfielder prioritized a move to Manchester United over actually staying at Chelsea.

How much did Mount cost Manchester United?

The Chelsea exit operation, a project to be spearheaded by Mauricio Pochettino, continues to take shape. Pending an official announcement, Mason Mount (24 years old) has anticipated to say goodbye to what will always be the club of his heart. In theory, his move to Manchester United is expected to materialize this Wednesday in a deal worth close to $70 million.
