If Todd Boehly is unsure as to whether or not Chelsea should sell Mason Mount then the American billionaire should heed Lionel Messi's rave review. The 24-year-old midfielder faces an increasingly uncertain future at Stamford Bridge with his contract set to expire at the end of next season.
One of Boehly's priorities after taking the helm last year was to tie Mount down to a long-term deal, football.london understands. But, it's said 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 still some way off an agreement.
