Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly has been encouraged not to sell Mason Mount this summer as the midfielder continues to be linked with a move to Premier League rivals Liverpool. Former Blues goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer has told his former employers they will regret offloading the Cobham graduate, believing he remains a "phenomenal player".
Mount's Chelsea contract is set to expire in just over 12 months' time, with discussions over an extension having hit a standstill as the two parties appear far from settling on an agreement. Despite the 24-year-old reportedly keen on staying at Stamford Bridge, he and the club have bene unable to agree terms over an extended deal.
As such, a queue of clubs have lined up to register their interest in snatching Mount for a cut-price deal this summer. Most interested are Liverpool, as football.london understands, who are the current front-runners for Mount's signature ahead of the upcoming transfer window.
