Chelsea have received a written offer from Lyon for USMNT international Christian Pulisic.

The Athletic revealed earlier today that AC Milan had made their first verbal offer for the 24-year-old Chelsea winger worth €14million (£12m, $15.3m).

However they face stiff competition from Lyon who have made their second bid for Pulisic today.

Lyon’s bid is worth €25million (£21.5m, $27.3m) plus a meaningful sell-on clause that is still being negotiated.

The proposal is at a level which Chelsea would find acceptable for Pulisic and they are reluctant to let him exit for lower.

Chelsea have a very good relationship with Lyon from the January recruit of Malo Gusto and are fond of the project being overseen by American owner John Textor.

Mason Mount will undergo a medical at Manchester United on Monday before completing his £60million move from Chelsea.

The 24-year-old is set sign a five-year contract at Old Trafford with a club option for an extra year. His move is expected to be formally announced later this week.

Mount will earn £250,000-a-week at United, potentially rising to £300,000-a-week depending on performances, dwarfing his £80,000-a-week wages at Chelsea.

Chelsea had offered Mount a new deal worth just under £200,000-a-week but he turned that down due of the length of the contract and unfavourable image rights terms.

Mount also saw his relationship with Chelsea’s owners deteriorate before he turned down a final one-year contract extension offer in February.

Chelsea have reached an agreement with Baba Rahman to mutually terminate his contract. Chelsea will be due add-ons and bonuses as part of the termination agreement depending on Rahman’s next move.

Baba Rahman is now expected to join Greek side PAOK FC. The final details of the deal are being resolved, with #Chelsea set to earn fees based on whether they qualify for Europe next season.
