Potter provides an update on the Mason Mount contract
Potter provides an update on Mount’s future at the club
Numerous Premier League clubs including Liverpool were interested in Mount as he nears the end of his contract at Stamford Bridge. While Chelsea has admitted that they might have to part ways with the midfielder, they are not giving up on the Englishman.
However, the 24-year-old has refused to sign a new contract multiple times.
What did Graham Potter have to say?
Potter gave an update on the situation while praising Mount in the press conference prior to the Leicester game. He said, “Ultimately, it is between the club and Mason. I have spoken to him numerous times about his situation, football, and life generally.
“My feelings for Mason are clear. He is a fantastic person firstly, but sometimes these things happen. They are just complicated and it is best that I speak little about it, let them get on with it in deciding what is right for both parties.”
When asked whether he has asked Mount to stay, Potter said: “Yes, but I am not naive. I know it is an important time for him and an important contract. These things have to be right for him and his family. It’s important that he makes a decision on that basis.
“He’s the same as everybody else; he wants to play. At the moment, he is suffering from a slight injury so he probably needs a little bit more time until he is available properly. He is happy around the place and wants to help the team. That is normal with Mason, no change in that. He wants to help the team to win. He wants to be injury free and play football.”
