The finest clubs in Europe are apparently interested in signing the England international, but he is unwilling to leave.
Mason Mount, who has won Player of the Year honors for the past two seasons, is one of the key players on the current Chelsea team. After entering the final two years of his contract, the 23-year-old has been linked with a summer transfer but has now stated that he sees his long-term future at Stamford Bridge.
Just Like his teammate Reece James, Mount wants to commit to fresh terms with his boyhood club and has doused any speculation of a transfer anywhere else.
What did Mason Mount say about his future?
Mount is keen to extend his stay at Stamford Bridge and is open to negotiating a contract extension with the club before the new season gets underway.
“I’ve got two years left on my contract and I’m very, very happy here. Those talks will hopefully be starting soon,” he stated.
The player has met with Chelsea’s new owner in Todd Boehly and is excited to share the same vision for continued success as his employer.
“After the last game of the season we had a little get-together at the hotel and he (Boehly) was there with the rest of the consortium,” Mount added.
“It was good to meet them in person and speak to them all. It’s so exciting what the future holds. It’s an unknown, but the way it’s started is really exciting to see what’s going to happen.
“We’re a team that over the last ten years has been up there and pushing and that is where we want to stay. Speaking to them about their goals and aims, we’re on the same page. So hopefully that continues.”
Buzzing to be back after a busy summer! 🤝
