Despite interest from Liverpool ahead of the summer transfer window, football website 90Min claims that Mason Mount would want to remain at Chelsea and sign a new deal, but wants pay that matches his value to Graham Potter’s team.

Mount, now 24, is playing out the remaining 18 months of his contract at Stamford Bridge. With Chelsea’s recent play, a transfer away from his childhood club is a distinct possibility. It seems that the team will not be playing in Europe next season.

The Reds have always been interested in the English star, and his contract issue makes them much more so. Moreover, Chelsea may not have access to Europe in the next season. It was said by Rudy Galetti that he may replace Jude Bellingham.

90Min has now revealed Mount’s intentions, saying either that he wants to leave Chelsea or that he wants to remain. He reportedly wants to stay at his childhood club, Chelsea, but only if he is offered a new contract in line with his status as a crucial player for the Blues.

If Chelsea does not make the playoffs, it will be intriguing to see whether Mount wants to sign a new contract and remain. Nonetheless, Mount’s emotional ties to his childhood club make it unlikely that he would ever quit Chelsea.

Especially to play for a team that competes with Chelsea. The Blues can easily afford to pay Mount a salary commensurate with his standing on the team. An underrated player, according to what Stuart Pearce has previously told TalkSPORT.

There are a few exciting months ahead. Graham Potter’s squad has what it takes to make a playoff push at the end of the season. It would make Mount more committed to staying. It remains to be seen whether the Blues would accommodate his requests.
