Mason Mount's future is firmly in doubt after talks over a new Chelsea contract were put on hold - and the two parties are reportedly 'a long way apart' on coming to an agreement.
The 24-year-old has less than 18 months left on his current deal at Stamford Bridge, having come through the ranks, and he has since progressed into an integral first-team player. Mount last signed a new contract in July 2019 after impressing on loan with Frank Lampard at Derby but is now coming to the end of that deal.
And according to the Daily Mail, negotiations between Mount's representatives and the club were halted after the England international rejected an offer as he felt it was below what others are earning. Mount pockets £80,000-a-week at the moment - but that staggeringly doesn't even put him inside the top 20 paid players at Chelsea.
