Chelsea Newsnow: Simon Phillips of GiveMeSport claims that Chelsea is very close to extending Mason Mount’s contract. The 24-year-old midfielder has been pursued by other European teams. But the Blues are ready to make concessions in order to get him.

Mount’s status with the team has been up in the air for some time. The player reportedly was not satisfied with the parameters of the agreement presented by his club. This led to the breakdown in contract extension discussions. And at the end of the summer, he was planning on leaving the team he had grown up with.

However, the most recent reports indicate that the club is open to negotiation. Initially, they hoped to have the England international sign a long-term deal. The player, however, was not enthusiastic about this. He proposed a shorter term to the new contract the team was proposing. They were close to accepting.

Mount is obligated to the Blues through the next season’s summer of 2024. His eighty thousand pounds per week contract expires in less than eighteen months. And there was discussion of his leaving the group he’s been a member of since boyhood.

The 24-year-old was said to be joining Liverpool. The Merseyside club was eager to get him as they prepare to revamp their midfield for the next season. Midfield play has been a weakness for Jurgen Klopp’s squad this season. They need fresh midfielders and are actively looking for them.

They gave Mount a high priority because of his contract status. However, it seems they will have to go elsewhere since the Blues are prepared to make concessions in order to sign a new contract with the England international.

The Chelsea midfielder has struggled thus far this season. He’s played in 34 games this season but has only contributed to nine goals, a big drop from the 29 he helped score in all competitions last year.

Mount is expected to sign a new contract with the Blues now that they are willing to negotiate new terms. He would also be keen to go back to his peak performance.
