Chelsea chief Todd Boehly makes Mason Mount contract decision after finding talks ‘hard’ | Football | Sport

Potter admitted that the contract negotiations between Mount and Chelsea had become “complicated” after previously stating that he would not get involved in discussions. “Ultimately it is between the club and Mason,” Potter said last week.

“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.

“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 he makes a decision on that basis.”
