Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly held a meeting with Mason Mount last Friday ahead of the summer transfer window. The 24-year-old is a priority transfer target for Liverpool, whilst also attracting interest from Arsenal, Manchester United and Bayern Munich.
Mount will have just 12 months left on his current deal this summer sparking speculation that he could leave the Blues in search for a new challenge after a difficult season at Stamford Bridge. The England international has rejected a number of Chelsea's previous contract proposals with the length of the new deal proving to be a key stumbling block for Boehly.
Mount wants a significant wage increase that represents his importance to the team, but is reluctant to sign a seven-year contract as it gives him fewer chances of negotiating improved terms in the future. The Blues would be open to selling the midfielder this summer if a contract agreement cannot be reached.
