Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United are monitoring Mason Mount’s contract situation with Chelsea as talks stall over a new deal, sources have told ESPN.
The 24-year-old’s existing deal expires at the end of next season and sources suggest there has been little progress on an extension in recent months.
One of the obstacles is Mount’s reluctance to commit to the kind of long-term deal that has become increasingly common under Todd Boehly’s ownership.
Sources have also told ESPN that Mount is seeking a significant rise in his existing salary, thought to be around £80,000-a-week, to reflect his status as an international and senior England player.
The deadlock has put several other clubs on alert with Liverpool, City and United all in the market for a midfielder this summer.
