Chelsea star Mason Mount has rejected a new contract worth more than £200,000 per week, just a week before flying out to the FIFA World Cup, according to reports.
It has been said that the 23-year-old's decision was calculated one as he hoped could pay off should he enjoy a successful tournament in Qatar with England. Already in the Group Stages, Gareth Southgate's side have four points from six after their recent draw with USA following their comprehensive 6-2 win over Iran.
Mount, a Cobham academy graduate, has 18 months remaining on his contract at Stamford Bridge and as a result, has attracted interest from the likes of Premier League rivals Liverpool and Serie A giants Juventus.
