In a quite shocking turn of events, it now looks more likely that Mason Mount will leave Chelsea this summer over signing a new contract. The 24-year-old's current deal expires in 2024 and talks regarding an extension were initially set to take place prior to the World Cup, but were placed on hold.
A negotiation timeline was then set for Mount to enter conversations in January regarding a renewal, but again the Blues' transfer business took priority. Within Stamford Bridge, it is now viewed as an issue to resolve in the summer, however by that point Mount may have already decided where his future lies and it looks more likely to be away from west London with each passing day.
Liverpool are the main Premier League club highly interested in signing Mount, with Jurgen Klopp in desperate need of several new midfielders. Manchester United and Manchester City have been briefly mentioned, but a new option emerged for Mount last Friday after former Blues boss Thomas Tuchel took the reigns at Bayern Munich.
