Mason Mount admits to major ‘concern’ over Chelsea takeover as Raine Group make sale decisions

Chelsea star Mason Mount has admitted that uncertainty over the club’s ownership is a ‘concern’ for the whole squad. The Blues are currently up for sale, with Roman Abramovich having come to his decision on March 2. The UK Government then imposed sanctions on him eight days later.

As it stands, Raine Group - the facilitators of the sale - appear to have named their preferred bidders and it now remains to be seen how close a deal will actually be once all offers are tabled. In fact, a number of conflicting reports have seen fans and players alike left uncertain over the current situation. Having only known the relative stability of the Abramovich era throughout his development in west London, Mount has admitted that the unpredictable nature of the takeover process is somewhat daunting.

Speaking after England ’s 2-1 victory over Switzerland at Wembley Stadium, the midfielder said: "I’ve been at the club since I was six-years-old and something like this has not happened before, so it can be a concern. At the beginning, and even now, we don’t really know where it’s going and what’s happening the next day.
