The English midfielder is close to leaving the club in the summer and Liverpool is his possible destination
The ‘blue’ youth squad ends his contract in 2024 and seems to be out of the plans for the club’s new project
Mason Mount’s idyll with Chelsea seems to be coming to an end. The 24-year-old midfielder could leave Stamford Bridge this summer for a ‘giant’ in the Premier League. Liverpool is one of the most interested. According to points from England, club and player have not reached an agreement on the renewal due to the different positions around the salary issue.
Mount ends contract in 2024 and at Chelsea they are aware that if they do not agree, the most sensible thing to do is to sell them to get a good transfer. Todd Boehly’s ‘revolution’ seems to have set aside one of the jewels of the quarry, which until recently he was indisputable with Tuchel and he was one of the best in the Champions League won against Manchester City in 2021.
With Potter, the man from Portsmouth has been a substitute in three of the last five games and has been badly affected by the arrival of players like Enzo Fernández or Joao Félix. As if that were not enough, Chelsea now seem interested in the signing of Alexis Mac Allister.
Last season he was the best footballer of the ‘blues’, by far. He played a total of 53 games, ranking as the team’s top scorer and assistant with 13 goals and 16 assists. This year they are missing the best Mount a lot. And I’m sure they’ll miss him again if they let him out. The ‘blues’ already let footballers like De Bruyne or Salah go out and then they ended up putting their hands to their heads.
Except for a last-minute twist, everything indicates that the young midfielder will wear another shirt next season. City and United are also closely monitoring Mount’s situation., a very attractive profile to reinforce the midfield of both teams. There are few players who better combine talent in the last third of the field with vision of the game and dominating all spaces.
