Chelsea fans have been reacting to the news that Mason Mount could be set to leave the club this summer.
The Lowdown: Uncertain future
The Blues playmaker has entered the final 18 months of his contract at Stamford Bridge and is facing an uncertain future under Graham Potter having rejected the chance to extend his stay.
Football Insider report that the England international is being targeted by Premier League rivals Liverpool and it’s claimed that he would be keen on the move being an admirer of Jurgen Klopp.
Fabrizio Romano recently delivered an update on the 24-year-old’s current stance having joined forces with a new representative. He wrote:
“Tony Mount remains Mason Mount's official agent; he has partnered with Neil Fewings (ROOF group) to help with talks as there's no agreement with Chelsea on new deal.
“Mount could leave in the summer if agreement won't be reached - Liverpool remain among clubs interested.”
The Latest: Chelsea fans react…
Taking to Twitter, Chelsea lovers reacted to the possibility of Mount departing SW6 at the end of the season which they seemed to like the idea of. They said:
“If he doesn’t want to play for Chelsea anymore, I’ll show him where the door is.” - @LiquidatorPod
“WE’RE FINALLY FREED FROM THE SHACKLES OF MOUNT.” - @ryanwritesalot
“We wish you all the best Mason. Hope you don’t regret it at the end. Good luck!” - @Teeprince22
“If he doesn't want to stay he should be sold immediately in the summer.” - @onlyoneNtonja
“Let’s just get it done. It’s becoming more annoying than having Potter as our coach.” - @JGarliauskas
“Chelsea will probably just end up paying over the odds for a replacement like they usually do.“ - @andyorton7
“We don’t care he can leave we are still better without him.” - @madebablue2
“Mason Mount should just leave quietly with no drama, he has not been [at] the levels of Recce James, Chalobah.” - @DavidMayieko1
The Verdict: Don’t let him go
Chelsea may have been stuck in ongoing negotiations with Mount for a long period of time but Todd Boehly shouldn’t let him go because he’s such an important player for the future of the club.
The Portsmouth-born talent has posted 70 goal contributions in 192 senior appearances in the capital, highlighting the positive impact he makes when on the field.
The Blues already previously sold the likes of Tammy Abraham and Fikayo Tomori who were academy graduates so it’s important that they don’t do the same with Mount.
