Mason Mount’s contract at Chelsea expires at the end of next season and talks over a renewal have been put on hold until after the January transfer window.

The feeling is that Mount wants to stay at Chelsea and that Chelsea want him to stay.

However, there are two major problems right now when it comes to an extension - both of them connected.

The first is that Mount is asking for a lot of money - there are even reports that he is requesting €300,000 per week.

Secondly, Mount’s form in recent months has been nothing short of disastrous.

What has happened to Mason Mount?

In the last three months for club and country - since October 19 - Mount has scored just one goal and delivered zero assists in 17 matches, 13 of these starts.

His only goal contribution was a 90th minute strike on December 27 to clinch a 2-0 Chelsea win over Bournemouth.

He has been one of Chelsea’s worst performers under new manager Graham Potter, which has led to the Blues plummeting to 10th place in the Premier League, 10 points off the top four and out of both domestic cups.

For the second major international tournament in a row, Mount was also dismal for England. He made no attacking contributions in his four games in Qatar, so much so that he was dropped from the starting XI after the second group game versus the United States.

Having previously been the darling of the Chelsea fans, Mount has now become hugely unpopular with large sections of the fanbase.

Some of it is unfair. He was previously two-time Chelsea Player of the Year and it is clear that virtually every Chelsea player is underperforming this campaign amidst all the chaos off the pitch and in the transfer market.

But it is also true that an attacking midfielder with one goal contribution from 17 games cannot walk into contract negotiations and expect a huge contract.

This is the big problem Chelsea and Mount have right now. And the only solution to the problem is for the Englishman to start performing again.
