Mason Mount has been hit hard as his new contract talks with Chelsea drag on.
Mount is yet to sign a new contract at the club with his current deal set to expire in 15 months’ time. He has so far turned down offers to renew his deal, with Todd Boehly eager to hand the midfielder a seven-year contract to ward off interest from Liverpool and Manchester City.
The situation has been exacerbated by Mount’s dip in form on the pitch after struggling to impress under Graham Potter.
The Sun says dressing room insiders are ‘worried’ that Mount is ‘suffering’ due to his contract talks breaking down.
A source quoted in the report claims that Mount ‘just wants to win things’ and is keen to continue doing so with Chelsea, but his frustrations are boiling over.
It is understood he has already turned down offers in the region of £200,000-a-week, with further talks planned towards the end of the season.
