Juventus are prepared to offer three players in exchange for Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount in order to bring him to the Allianz Stadium in the summer.

Mount has been linked with a move away from Chelsea in recent times and has just 18 months left on his deal at Stamford Bridge, with various clubs interested in the Englishman.

He recently rejected a contract offer from Chelsea in a deal that was worth approximately £200,000-a-week, and reportedly wants to earn more to remain in London.

Now, Juventus are considering a swoop for the midfielder with manager Massimiliano Allegri a keen admirer of his talents and willing to offload names in order to land him.

Juventus willing to let go of three players

This comes from Calciomercatoweb, who say Juventus are keen on letting go of three players in order to make the transfer of Mount a possibility.

The first player they will let go of is Leandro Paredes, as they will not make his loan move from Paris Saint-Germain a permanent one and send him back to the Parisian club despite only signing last summer.

The other player they are willing to let go of is Weston McKennie, who recently played in the United States’ World Cup campaign and has been linked with a move away for a while.

Finally, they are willing to sell Adrien Rabiot, who was linked with an exit in the summer but a move never happened and he ended up remaining at Juventus and is in the final months of his deal there.

Whether the move materialises remains to be seen but what’s clear is that there is plenty at stake with Chelsea still keen on renewing his deal before the end of the season to avoid being in a position where they could lose him on a free transfer in the next campaign.
