Chelsea appear to be laying the groundwork for Mason Mount's exit, with the 24-year-old yet to make a decision on his future. He faces an increasingly uncertain future at Stamford Bridge having recently entered the final 18 months of his contract.
One of the priorities for Todd Boehly following the takeover last year was to tie Mount down to a long-term deal, football.london understands. But negotiations have proven difficult thus far and he has even reportedly appointed a new agent, Neil Fewings, to help smooth out proceedings.
The midfielder is far from one of the top earners at Chelsea despite being a seasoned England international. If the two parties cannot reach an agreement over a new deal, then he'll leave the west London outfit for free in June 2024.
