Giving young players a big money contract has not always been the ideal route for Chelsea to take in the past. Looking at players such as Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who have previously managed to negotiate impressive deals without going on to become regular starters, it's only right that Mason Mount be offered that same respect, with his current contract set to expire in 2024.
According to data from Sportrac, Mount currently earns £88,462 a week. This makes him the 17 th highest earner of the squad, despite winning back-to-back club Player of the Year awards. However, reports suggest that the 23-year-old may see his salary doubled, taking him right up into Chelsea's top five earners next season.
I News reports that Chelsea are keen to tie down the England international. Mount is also keen on remaining at his childhood club, despite interest from several other European rivals.
