Man Utd, Man City and Liverpool to battle it out for midfielder as manager admits 'complicated' situation

Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United are reportedly monitoring Mason Mount's contract situation at Chelsea as talks stall over a new deal.

Mount is out of contract with Chelsea in 2024 and is yet to commit his long-term future to the Premier League club.

There has been a lack of progress in negotiations over a new deal for the England international, who has been named Chelsea's Player of the Season in the last two campaigns.

Mount has reportedly rejected the offer of a new long-term contract, believed to be a seven-year deal, with the midfielder unhappy with the terms offered.

Sources have told ESPN that Mount is seeking a significant increase on his existing wage, which is believed to be around £80,000 per week.

The contract stand-off has put a number of Premier League clubs on red alert, with Mount now into the final 18 months of his current deal at Stamford Bridge.

While Chelsea are keen to keep the 24-year-old, they may look to cash in on him in the summer if he has failed to sign a new deal by the time the window opens.

Premier League rivals interested in Mount

ESPN claim City, United and Liverpool are all monitoring the situation, while reports in Spain claim Chelsea could be willing to include Mount in a deal to sign Joao Felix from Atletico Madrid on a permanent basis.

Juventus are also said to be interested in the midfielder, who has scored 33 goals in 190 appearances for Chelsea.

Blues boss Graham Potter admits he is unsure if Mount will sign a new deal at Stamford Bridge but is keen to keep the player.

He said: "It is always complicated. There's always negotiations. It is best that I leave it between Mason and the club.

"It is the best way for that to be dealt with. As far as I am concerned, he is fantastic to work with.

"He is an important player for us. I hope it gets resolved quickly."

What has Mount said?

Mount has kept tight-lipped about his future with negotiations ongoing.

Speaking before the World Cup in Qatar, Mount was asked about the possibility of him leaving Chelsea – the club that has been his home for 18 years.

"I have always been so focused on my football since I was in the academy," Mount told the Evening Standard in November.

"I know now there is a lot more media focus on me, but I do not look too much into that. I block it out."
