Mason Mount faces an increasingly uncertain future at Chelsea as his contract expires in 12 months and Manchester United are seriously interested in a transfer
Mason Mount has made an important decision amid interest from Manchester United which could impact his future at Chelsea. The 24-year-old midfielder has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford lately, but he doesn’t appear to be pushing for an immediate exit.
football.london understands the Blues were close to reaching agreement on a new contract for Mount, as his contract at Stamford Bridge expired in 12 months. However, after his return from the World Cup in December, no offers were on the table.
Shortly after the start of the new year, Chelsea resumed talks with the England international but were unwilling to sign a one-year extension.
Mount is believed to have not received a better offer since then, meaning he will become a free agent at the end of next season.
The Red Devils are said to have had three bids rejected by West Londoners for Mount, with their latest bid for £55m, including £5m in add-ons. According to widespread reports, United have walked out of talks after Chelsea made a £58million counter-offer, plus £7million in add-ons.
Despite much speculation about his future, Mount doesn’t appear ready to force a departure.
According to The Telegraph, the Cobham graduate intends to inform Mauricio Pochettino that he will turn up for pre-season training and make himself available for the Blues’ US tour, which kicks off on July 17.
Although Mount is keen to retain his contract with the west Londoners, The Telegraph says Pochettino hopes the vast majority of Chelsea players will be sold by July 17 next Tuesday, with those who have their international duties taken care of arriving. later.

Last month, Frank Lampard predicted a departure from Mount after claiming he was unsure how Chelsea intended to retain him.
Speaking to Sky Sports, the former caretaker Chelsea manager said: “I think it’s a difficult situation because working with Mason – and not just Mason, other players when I was here before – it are either really important players who have become for the club.”
Clubs who have a real relationship with the supporters because they really feel the club as they have been at the academy since they were eight years old and some of between them have moved to other clubs and the club are done with it have progressed well and wish them well in their careers.
“I think with Mason, especially as an individual, I don’t know what the solution is going to be because it’s the club’s and Mason’s problem. I don’t know exactly where Mason is personally, he still has a year left on his contract. ” .

“I think in the past that would have been the reason you left the club. Today you have to move forward and we ended up in the situation that is happening now.”
