Mason Mount ‘will more than DOUBLE his £80,000-a-week wages at Chelsea once Todd Boehly’s takeover is complete
Chelsea are reportedly willing to offer Mason Mount a substantial pay rise once Todd Boehly’s consortium complete their takeover of the club
The 23-year-old has developed into one of the best midfielders in the Premier League and is a key member of both the Chelsea and England set ups.
Mount picked up 11 goals and 10 assists in the Premier League this season and was the only Chelsea player to reach double figures for either.
However, that is set to change if Chelsea’s planned takeover goes through with The I reporting that Mount’s wages will more than double if the club is bought successfully.
They also claim Mount is happy to commit his long-term future to his boyhood club, as they look to build a team around him that can compete with Manchester City and Liverpool.
The Portsmouth-born midfielder has already picked up a Champions League, Club Winners Cup and European Super Cup from his 160 Chelsea appearances.
In many respects Chelsea have had a good season season, securing a comfortable third place finish in the league and an FA Cup final in spite of off-field uncertainty caused by owner Roman Abramovich’s links to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
They were a long way off the pace for much of the title race though, and will be looking to push their rivals closer next season
