England ace and Chelsea starlet Mason Mount has become the hot topic of a potential summer transfer following a breakdown in his contract renewal process with the Blues.
Since Todd Boehly took over the London club, the Blues have spent £601 million in the winter transfer window to bring in new players. A first-team player such as Aubameyang has found himself cut from the squad's Champions League list while Mason Mount is undecided on his future.
While Chelsea manager Graham Potter has made it clear he would love to keep the club's academy graduate at Stamford Bridge, Mason Mount could leave if no agreement is reached between the player's camp and the club's management over a new deal.
The 24-year-old is in the final 18 months of his contract and would eventually leave in the coming summer if Chelsea fails to meet his demands.
The England international's contract situation has attracted interest from Premier League rivals and all over Europe. Liverpool, Manchester United, and Manchester City are reportedly interested, while European suitors include Real Madrid and Juventus.
Mirror claims that Merseyside-based Liverpool, who have been frequently linked with the 24-year-old, might find it difficult to vie for the player's signature as they are in pursuit of Borussia Dortmund's starlet Jude Bellingham.
However, the Mirror claimed the two Manchester clubs could land the England international. The 24-year-old has already proven himself against Pep Guardiola's side when he set up Chelsea's winning goal during the 2021 Champions League final between the two sides.
Despite how irresistible a move to Etihad could be, Mason Mount could struggle to get game time given the massive amount of talents in Manchester City's squad, but he could be a first-team player if he opts to join Erik Ten Hag's Man United, which is currently undergoing a rebuild.
ESPN reported that Erik Ten Hag's Manchester United are seriously monitoring the player's contract situation, and he might become an alternative if their pursuit of Jude Bellingham fails.
Real Madrid are also reportedly interested in the 24-year-old, who wants to build an international reputation on the foundation of being a Champions League winner. Playing for the La Liga giants will take his career and profile to a different level.
Juventus are also interested in the 24-year-old in case he decides to go on an international venture outside of the English Premier League. The Old Lady is currently in crisis; they have been deducted 15 points after being found guilty of financial breaching.
The possibility of the 24-year-old joining the Seria A giants is still under the microscope.
