Chelsea are ready to open contract talks with Mason Mount over a new contract, with just over two years left on the midfielder’s current deal.
That’s according to Fabrizio Romano, who tweeted today that there has been no “direct contact” yet (we’re not sure what that means as he’s clearly always in contact with senior figures at the club), but probably just means that the parties haven’t reached the stage of actually writing down numbers just yet.

We can’t forsee there being any trouble – he’s a Chelsea boy and loves the club, and he’s also a key player for Thomas Tuchel. It should be a big pay rise, a nice 5 year deal, with little fuss.
It’s pretty obvious why sorting it out nice and early is a priority though, given the situation with 3 of the first team squad potentially leaving this summer on free transfers.
Let’s get Mason tied down before our stress levels get any higher.
