Mason Mount signing a new contract and remaining at Chelsea beyond this summer continues to look increasingly unlikely with the 2022/23 season at its final weekend. Talks over an extension looked set to take place prior to the World Cup, but have been postponed on numerous occasions with alternatives presented that have also been rejected.
The 24-year-old was offered a one-year extension to prevent a summer departure and give the club more time to agree on terms, but that proposal was rebuffed. Injuries for Mount have made the campaign a challenging one, with the struggles Chelsea have faced this season also making it difficult for him to deliver consistent performances.
Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United are all in the transfer race for Mount. As football.london reported, Jurgen Klopp's side were the frontrunners to sign the England international this summer, but a new report from the Athletic revealed that Man United were his transfer preference.
