Chelsea will reject ‘crazy bids’ for Mason Mount, claims Romano
Speaking on the Here We Go Podcast, reliable journalist and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Chelsea will reject any and all bids that will arrive for ‘untouchable’ Mason Mount.
Mount, a product of the Chelsea youth academy, got his big break in the first-team last season under Frank Lampard. And he just has not looked back ever since, making giant stride after giant stride to establish himself as one of the most exciting young attacking midfielders in England.
A mainstay for club and country, Mount has been one of Chelsea’s best players this season and picked up the club’s Player of the Year award earlier this week.
Romano has now revealed that Mount’s progress over the past couple of seasons could lead to ‘crazy bids’ coming in for him in the summer. However, the journalist added that Chelsea are very happy with the Englishman’s progression, who has attained an ‘untouchable’ status at the club.
“He’s really special and when Chelsea people talk about him, he’s really, really untouchable. So, all sorts of crazy bids will arrive this summer – Mason Mount is untouchable.
Romano also provided an update on a possible contract extension for the England international, hinting that a new deal could be in the offing soon.
“He’s an amazing player, they consider him the star of the future and of the present because he’s making a difference right now. So, Mason Mount is part of Chelsea’s project and let’s see in the next months what happens with his contract. At the moment, there is still nothing agreed or advanced but, for sure, Chelsea are so, so happy with Mason Mount.”

Mount, so far this term, has made 52 appearances in all competitions, scoring nine goals and setting up eight more. However, his influence goes far beyond the numbers. Having been a pivotal part under Lampard, he has continued to essay a key role under Thomas Tuchel and will only get better with age.
