Mason Mount Expected To Leave Chelsea
Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount is expected to say goodbye to the team on Sunday against Newcastle.
After months of negotiations about a new contract, Mason Mount representatives and Chelsea have been unable to reach agreement on a new contract. Chelsea are reportedly unwilling to give in to Mount’s high wage demands and are willing to offload the midfielder this coming summer.
Manchester United have emerged as the firm favorites to land the midfielder, with Liverpool also keen on new midfielders. Chelsea are reportedly asking for a fee of 80 million euros for the former player of the season.
Incoming Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino is ready to talk to Mason Mount, as he believes he can be an important member of the team next season, which leaves a late chance of a possible upturn in the negotiations.
However, Frank Lampard, the current Chelsea manager, insisted anything is possible in today’s market.
“I think in the old days it would be, ‘Why are you leaving the club? You shouldn’t. In the modern day, players move on.” It’s just a shame that we’ve gotten into the situation where it’s happening maybe now.” He said.
