Coventry Eyes Manchester United Midfielder as Lampard Aims High

In a significant move as they prepare for their historic Premier League debut, Coventry City head coach Frank Lampard is keen on bolstering his squad. Lampard has communicated to the club’s management the necessity for reinforcements ahead of this crucial season.

One of Lampard’s primary targets is 27-year-old Mason Mount, currently an attacking midfielder at Manchester United. Having previously worked together at both Derby County and Chelsea, Lampard’s familiarity with Mount could be advantageous for Coventry.

Manchester United has placed a minimum valuation of £30 million on Mount, a considerable sum for the modestly funded Coventry City. Consequently, the club is exploring the option of a loan deal as a more viable alternative.

This past season, Mount appeared in only 22 matches for the Red Devils, managing 3 goals and 1 assist. His contract with Manchester United runs until 2028, and his transfer value is estimated at €30 million according to Transfermarkt.
