Mason Mount, a Chelsea midfielder, could be on his way out of the club after contract talks fell through.
Mason Mount: With 18 months left on his current contract, the England international is increasingly likely to leave Stamford Bridge this summer.
Although the academy product has stated his desire to remain at the club, he wants his £80,000-a-week salary to be increased to around £240,000-a-week to reflect his status as a first-team star.
Chelsea, on the other hand, are walking a Financial Fair Play tightrope after spending nearly £600m since Todd Boehly’s takeover last summer.

To get around UEFA rules, the Blues have signed long-term contracts with Mykhailo Mudryk and Enzo Fernandez, and Mount wants to be among the best.
According to the Daily Mail, talks between the two parties have broken down after he rejected Chelsea’s latest offer.
It suggests Mount will leave in the summer, despite interest from Liverpool and West Ham United.
