Mason Mount is a fan favourite at Stamford Bridge but Chelsea may have backed themselves into a corner whereby selling the player, who joined the Blues aged six, is the logical option.
The 24-year-old has less than 15 months left on his current deal at Stamford Bridge, having come through the club’s youth ranks and progressed into an integral first-team player. Mount last signed a new contract in July 2019 after impressing on loan at Derby but is now coming to the final section of that agreement.
Mount is not currently one of the top 20 paid players at Chelsea and with multiple attacking arrivals at the West London club across the past two transfer windows, his future has come into question. Talks over a contract extension have stalled.
