While Cristiano Ronaldo may have left Manchester United on bad terms, the legendary striker looks set to help his former side win the race to sign Mason Mount. The 24-year-old midfielder faces an increasingly uncertain future at Chelsea with his contract set to expire in just 12 months.
football.london understands that the Blues have been in talks with Mount over a new deal, but they've only just reopened negotiations. It's said that conversations have proven complicated, with the length of contract and pay being an issue.
The Cobham graduate is not among the top earners at Stamford Bridge despite appearing nearly 200 times for the club. If an agreement cannot be reached then Mount will become a free agent in June 2024 and, until then, be available for far less his market value.
