Thiago Silva has made his feelings known following reports that Mason Mount has agreed personal terms with Manchester United. The 24-year-old midfielder has been heavily linked with an exit from Stamford Bridge recently after entering the final 12 months of his contract.
football.london understands that the Blues have been in talks with Mount over a new deal for a while now, and an agreement was once thought to be close ahead of the World Cup in December. But, upon his return, the offer was no longer on the table.
Then, towards the end of January, negotiations reopened but the England international was not interested in signed a one-year extension despite a proposed salary increase. Mount is far from a top earner at Cobham despite racking up nearly 200 appearances for the club.
