Mason Mount is expected to pen the new Chelsea deal in the coming period as fresh talks are planned next month.
According to Give Me Sport via The Athletic, Chelsea remains optimistic about extending Mason Mount’s deal at the club, with fresh talks planned for next month. The club has progressed with the 23-year-old playmaker despite reports claiming discussions had stalled before the World Cup.
Chelsea are optimistic about extending Mason Mount’s deal at the club, with the 23-year-old playmaker expected to remain at Stamford Bridge for the long term. The England international’s contract expires in 18 months, although the Blues have reportedly made progress in negotiations.
Mount has been an integral part of Chelsea teams since Frank Lampard became manager. After spending a season under the former midfielder at Derby County, the 23-year-old returned and cemented a place in the first team. He is regarded as one of the best products out of the Cobham academy, alongside Reece James and Conor Gallagher.
While Chelsea had prioritised offering new deals to a few of their core players, including James, they are yet to agree on new terms with Mount. While the right-back has penned a six-year contract, the club were hoping to do the same with the attacking midfielder.
Right before the World Cup, reports emerged of Mount stalling on contract talks after discussions between the parties took a different turn. However, the latest on the matter suggests Chelsea has ironed out the essential parts and expects the 23-year-old to pen a new contract.
They have planned further talks next month and are considering extending Mount’s contract as a priority, among other things. However, Chelsea are wary of the attacking midfielder entering the 18-month mark of his deal and remains cautious of interest from elsewhere, particularly from Liverpool.
The Reds were monitoring his situation, as Jurgen Klopp is a massive fan of Mount’s qualities. But, the report insists, the club and player remain on the same page, which is positive news for fans. Now that Mount is back from England duties, he would focus on getting back into the team and then hold talks.
Mount currently earns £80,000 per week in wages and will have 18 months left on his contract. With the potential new deal, his salary will significantly rise to the standards of the top earners at the club or close to it.
