Chelsea want Mason Mount's future to be resolved by next week.
Mount, 24, is a transfer target for Chelsea's Premier League rivals Manchester United. The Blues have already rejected three bids from United for the England international - including their most recent offer of £55million - as they are holding out for £65m.
Mount has just a year left on his existing deal and Chelsea are willing to cash in on the midfielder this summer. Yet they do not want the transfer saga to continue rumbling on, with incoming manager Mauricio Pochettino starting work on Monday.
