Mason Mount heading for Chelsea exit as talks break down over £240,000-a-week demands
Mason Mount is set to leave Chelsea after negotiations over his weekly salary demands of £240,000 break down.
A breakdown in contract negotiations between Mason Mount’s representation and the Blues has made it increasingly likely that he will depart Chelsea this summer.
The England international has 18 months remaining on his contract at Stamford Bridge and has expressed his desire to continue with the club.
The academy graduate makes approximately £80,000 per week, and his representatives have aggressively sought to quadruple his income to approximately £240,000 per week.
Mount’s wage should match his standing as a first-team player, according to the club. This is in line with the contracts given to Romelu Lukaku and Raheem Sterling during the past 18 months.
