Mount turns down new Chelsea contract

Chelsea footballer Mason Mount is one of the best players to come through the Chelsea academy in recent years and he has now consolidated his place in top level football. Due to this, the Londoners want to renew his contract as soon as possible. 

The midfielder and the board have met to talk about extending his contract, but talks at the moment have been unsuccessful as the player turned down the first offer. That is according to the 'Daily Mail'. 

The offer, which was not to the England international's liking, was around 10 million pounds a year. The footballer would receive 200,000 pounds a week. In short, a contract fitting of a world class player. 

There is talk that Mason Mount's agents want to match Raheem Sterling's contract. The former Man City man earns close to 300,000 pounds a week and the Chelsea academy player will try and match that.
