Edouard Mendy has handed Chelsea a major blow as Todd Boehly rolls out a fresh round of new contracts. Reece James has already penned as six-year extension at Stamford Bridge this week and Mason Mount looks set to follow suit amid ongoing talks.
According to the Evening Standard, Mount and Mendy are the Blues' next priorities. It's said that preliminary discussions have taken place between the club and the former, who has two-years remaining on his current deal in west London.
The report adds that Mount, who is happy at the club, is set to become one of Chelsea's highest earners alongside fellow Cobham graduate James, but he's yet to receive a formal offer. While talks to retain the midfielder look promising, the same can not be said about Mendy's future.
