Your morning Chelsea transfer round-up on Friday, November 18.
Mason Mount exit worry
Liverpool and Juventus are eyeing a move for Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount amid uncertainty surrounding his future at the club, according to the Guardian. The 23-year-old has just over 18 months remaining on his contract at Stamford Bridge, causing further concerns over his long-term future at the west London club.
Talks have been held over a new deal for the England international. However, they have been put on hold since the summer and won't resume until January at the earliest. The new owners have pushed hard to offer security for their youngsters, having already tied down Reece James on a six-year deal.

Jude Bellingham demand
Chelsea transfer target Jude Bellingham has set out his demands that will decide his next club amid interest from a number of sides for the youngster's signature. According to CBS journalist Ben Jacobs, discussing with Football Transfers, the England international will use the same system former teammate Erling Haaland used to choose Manchester City.
“He’ll [Jude Bellingham] score who he joins dispassionately, which is really key," Jacobs said when asked about a potential move. "So, when Haaland joined Manchester City, of course he looked at the sentiment and the fact that his father played for the football club.”
It could give the Blues some hope in landing the 19-year-old, who is set to take to the stage in the World Cup with England over the next month.
Callum Hudson-Odoi verdict
Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso has discussed the future of Chelsea loanee Callum Hudson-Odoi after his recent impressive performances, saying: "I want to keep him a lot. I’m sure that he will stay until the end of the season. He is an important player for us.”
The Blues are said to hold a recall option for the Cobham academy graduate should they wish to bring him back to the club in the January transfer window.
