Mason Mount has been tipped to leave Chelsea as concerns arise regarding the midfielder's contract demands. The 24-year-old faces an increasingly uncertain future at Stamford Bridge after entering the final 18 months of his deal.
One of the priorities for the Clearlake Capital consortium, led by Todd Boehly, following their takeover last year was to tie Mount down to a new long-term contract, football.london understands. But, it's believed that negotiations have proven difficult thus far, with the proposed length of contract and wage packet proving to be an issue.
The Cobham graduate, who is said to be on around £75,000-a-week, is far from one of the top earners despite being a seasoned international for England. Mount is said to have turned his nose up at offers in the region of £200,000-a-week, but Simon Jordan believes that he's lucky to be on £50,000-a-week.
