April 24, (THEWILL) – Chelsea are willing to offer a short-term contract extension to Mason Mount, in a bid to end the uncertainty over his future at the club.
The midfielder is approaching the final year of his current deal and has been warned that he will be sold this summer if he does not accept fresh terms. A growing number of English Premier League clubs have expressed interest in the 24-year-old, making his future at Stamford Bridge uncertain.
However, recent reports suggest that Chelsea are confident about Mount’s future, as the club has made significant progress in securing a new manager. Sources monitored by THEWILL reveal that Mauricio Pochettino is likely to become the new Blues boss, which could sway Mount’s decision to stay longer at the London side.
The club is also willing to offer a one or two-year extension to Mount, providing them with time to convince him to stay. Liverpool’s keen interest in Mount aside, Chelsea is determined to retain their Academy graduate for as long as possible. While the club understands that Mount’s sale could raise a significant amount of money, they believe other players could be sold to meet their financial requirements.
As the 2022/2023 season approaches its end, Chelsea will continue their dialogue with Mount and his representatives to resolve one of their biggest contract dilemmas ahead of the summer transfer business.
