Picturing Mason Mount in the colours of any team other than Chelsea is almost unthinkable. But, that worrying nightmare could soon become a reality if he does not sign a new contract at Stamford Bridge with several Premier League rivals keen to acquire his services this summer.
A turbulent 2022/23 campaign for Mount has not helped his case when it comes to negotiations over an extension with the Blues. Talks have been planned and postponed on numerous occasions throughout the last 12 months, with the summer now as the final deadline for both parties to decide what will happen next.
Mount extending his stay at Stamford Bridge is likely want both sides want, but getting to that point proves to be the hard part. Given the new bumper contracts signed by Reece James and Ben Chilwell recently, Mount is said to want a similar deal to his fellow England internationals.
