Danny Murphy has warned Todd Boehly that Chelsea will not be able to demand 'silly money' for Mason Mount in the summer. The 24-year-old midfielder has been heavily linked with an exit from Stamford Bridge having recently entered the final 13 months of his deal.
football.london understands that negotiations with Mount over an extension have proven difficult thus far, with the proposed length of the contract and wage packet proving to be an issue. He's far from one of the top earners in west London despite racking up nearly 200 appearances for the club.
If either side cannot reach an agreement over a new deal then the Cobham graduate will be free to leave the Blues in June 2024. Between now and then, Mount is said to be available for a cut-price fee and some tops clubs are already hoping to strike a bargain.
