Chelsea might lose Mason Mount, who has only two years left on his Chelsea deal, as a result of the sanctions. Due to the fines, Chelsea are unable to offer Mount a new contract, and he is one of the club’s lowest-paid players. Top Premier League and European clubs are keeping an eye on Mount’s position and may make an offer in the summer. Chelsea could lose another quality player as a result of the fines, according to a story in the Daily Mail citing The Athletic that Mason Mount could be tempted away from Stamford Bridge.
Mount is being pursued by three major Premier League powers. Three unnamed Premier League giants are reportedly keeping an eye on the situation at Chelsea and could make a play for Mount this summer, according to the article.
Chelsea is already on the verge of losing Andreas Christensen and Toni Rudiger to Barcelona and Real Madrid, respectively, after both players agreed to personal terms with the La Liga teams.
The London club now faces a major battle to keep both Mount and Reece James, who is garnering interest from Real Madrid. Mount’s contract expires in two years, and he may be tempted to leave the club if an enticing offer comes his way, given he is now one of Chelsea’s lowest-paid players.
Mount is a low-income Chelsea resident. The 23-year-old is one of the Blues’ lowest-paid players, earning roughly £70,000 per week, and the club is currently unable to give him a new contract due to fines imposed on owner Roman Abramovich.
Three of the Premier League’s biggest teams are rumoured to be preparing efforts to recruit the England international, according to reports. The story does not name the English clubs, but it appears that Mount is being pursued by clubs from all over Europe’s top divisions. Mount’s contract predicament puts the Blues in a difficult position, and as his contract reaches its last two years, the player’s negotiating strength will certainly increase. Mount, on the other hand, has remained a Chelsea supporter.
Mount has been with Chelsea since he was six years old, rising through the ranks of the academy to become a regular first-team player. This season, Mount has been in excellent form for Chelsea. He has scored 12 goals in all competitions so far this season, putting him in double figures.
This latest development comes only days after it was claimed that Chelsea’s powerful defender Antonio Rudiger had agreed to a personal transfer to the Santiago Bernabeu. And, based on Chelsea’s interest in signing Reece James, Real Madrid officials appear to be far from finished. James began his Chelsea career as a youth player before rising to the main team in 2018 at Stamford Bridge, where he has been a crucial member of the Blues club.
