Mason Mount fears he could be priced out of a move to Manchester United this summer.
United submitted their second offer for the Chelsea midfielder on Wednesday having seen an opening bid of £40million turned away last week.
Their latest offer of £45m plus £5m in add-ons has also been quickly rejected, with Chelsea sending across a counter proposal of £60m with £5m in add-ons.
Mount has entered the final year of his contract at Stamford Bridge and is eager to make the move to United with Liverpool cooling their interest after learning of Chelsea’s demands.
But the Evening Standard report there is concern Chelsea’s demands will scupper Mount’s move.
The 24-year-old has turned down a new contract offer and while Mauricio Pochettino is keen to work with him next season, he is eager to move on.
Chelsea’s position has been strengthened this week with a number of players they have been keen to offload now edging towards lucrative moves to Saudi Arabia.
Hakim Ziyech, Kalidou Koulibaly and Edouard Mendy are all thought to be closing to completing moves to Saudi Pro League sides while the coffers will be further filled by Mateo Kovacic’s £30m move to Manchester City.
The club have also agreed a fee with Arsenal for Kai Havertz.
The Gunners saw an opening offer rejected last week but have returned with an improved bid, closer to Chelsea’s £65million asking price.
Personal terms have already been agreed and the Germany international is likely to complete a medical imminently ahead of a move he has given the green light to following talks with Mikel Arteta.
Chelsea this week confirmed the arrival of France international Christopher Nkunku having struck a deal with RB Leipzig for the forward last year.
Brighton star Moises Caicedo is also said to be intent on joining the Blues this summer.
