Frank Lampard has confirmed that he has no role in negotiations between Chelsea and Mason Mount regarding a new contract. The 24-year-old faces an increasingly uncertain future at Stamford Bridge with his deal set to expire at the end of next season.
One of Todd Boehly's priorities following the takeover last year was to tie Mount down to a long-term future at the club, football.london understands. But, it's believed that negotiations have proven difficult thus far with the proposed length of contract and wage packet an issue.
Mount is far from one of the top earners at Chelsea despite racking up nearly 200 appearances for the club. It is understood that the Cobham graduate wants to stay at his boyhood club, though the feeling is mutual that both parties are some way off an agreement at the moment.
