Todd Boehly has personally begged Chelsea’s £70 million star to stay at the club.
Todd Boehly has informed Chelsea player Mason Mount that he wants him to stay at Stamford Bridge, according to CBS reporter Ben Jacobs.
The 24-year-old has been linked with a transfer elsewhere, and his contract is coming to an end.

Mount is said to make £80,000 per week at Stamford Bridge and is out of contract next summer.
The Blues may be obliged to sell Mount when the transfer market opens or risk losing him on a free transfer if a new contract cannot be reached.
According to The Athletic, Chelsea will seek £70 million if they part company with Mount after the season.
According to journalist Paul Brown, Mount is already exploring a move to Arsenal, with most players in the league finding the thought of working under Mikel Arteta appealing.
According to Football Insider, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Newcastle United are all keeping an eye on Mount’s contract status, so if he decides to leave the club, he won’t be short of suitors.
What did Jacobs have to say about Mount?
According to Jacobs, Boehly personally spoke with Mount and asked him to stay with the club.
“I believe the first thing to mention is that Chelsea has not yet held any new, formal talks with Mount.” “The last negotiations that Mount and Chelsea had, the parties were reasonably far apart in terms of striking a deal, so they agreed to discuss it during the summer,” said Todd Boehly. That is still the plan for the time being.”
How did Mount fare this season?
Mount has not had the most brilliant season in a Chelsea shirt, scoring three goals and contributing two assists in the Premier League while starting 20 games, according to FBref, ahead to Saturday’s game against Bournemouth.

Mount, though, cannot be blamed only for his lack of impact in front of the goal, given how bad Chelsea has been as a club.
Graham Potter earlier stated that he considered Mount’s criticism strange during his tenure at Stamford Bridge.
Overall, Mount has failed to display his actual potential, but it’s difficult when the rest of the team is struggling.
