Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount is thought to have snubbed yet another contract offer from those at the top of the Stamford Bridge hierarchy.
As per the Daily Mail, Mount reportedly declined the offer just before jetting off to Qatar with the Three Lions on World Cup duty in what was a strategic gamble from the player and his camp. If the 23-year-old enjoys a stellar tournament with England, he could drastically increase his worth and price tag while sparking a flurry of interest from elsewhere.
Chelsea have agreed to pause negotiations for the duration of the tournament, but it seems as if an agreement is still some way off given how far apart the two parties are in terms of their valuation.
