There are a few clubs lining up to sign one of Chelsea’s key players this summer.
This situation is one that we are continuing to read about on a daily basis pretty much, and it is not something that is going to be concluded anytime soon.
Sources: Five strikers Chelsea have shortlisted ahead of summer move!
That is because Chelsea and Mason Mount have stopped talks over a new contract for now and will not address it until the season is over.
Fabrizio Romano has the latest in his free daily briefing on Caught Offiside’s Substack.
Romano names Newcastle and Liverpool as two of the clubs keen on signing Mount and waiting to see what happens with his contract situation at Chelsea.
He believes that talks for a new deal between Chelsea and Mount have not completely broken down yet, and that Mount has not named any preference of a club he would like to go to if they do.
Romano said: “I’ve been asked about emerging links between Mason Mount and Newcastle. For now, no preference has been confirmed on player side as talks with Chelsea are in stand-by but not 100% collapsed yet. Liverpool are informed on the situation; but there are also other clubs waiting to know the conditions of the deal in case Chelsea will sell Mount in the summer.”
