Chelsea star Mason Mount is yet to sign a contract renewal at Stamford Bridge, with talks having paused until after the World Cup.
Mount is set to feature for England in Qatar after being selected alongside teammates Raheem Sterling and Conor Gallagher as part of Gareth Southgate's 26-man squad for the tournament. The Blues midfielder has enjoyed a good campaign so far after a slow start but remains a key player for both club and country, being the only player to have played every Premier League match so far this season for Chelsea.
Mount's current deal at Stamford Bridge is set to expire in 2024, but the club are prioritising securing his long-term future after agreeing a new contract for Reece James. The 23-year-old has expressed his desire to stay with the Blues, but talks over an extension have proved to be unsuccessful so far, leading to interest from rival clubs in England and abroad.
