Chelsea: Another English club following in Mason’s footsteps

Liverpool will struggle to sign Mason Mount. Another English club has entered the dance to sign the England international from Chelsea.

After the shenanigans of the last two transfer windows, Chelsea need to step up their departure department next summer. The London club have to settle their accounts with a number of players and avoid UEFA Financial Fair Play and Premier League sanctions. Mason Mount could make a significant exit: the attacking midfielder has only a year and a half left on his contract. The summer transfer window should be Chelsea’s last chance to part with him. The player may be available for less than its actual value.

Financial fair play ensures…

According to information received by Dailymail, Liverpool are not alone in their achievement. Newcastle have entered the race to sign him. Chelsea have yet to give up hope of agreeing to an extension, but the file is looking more and more complicated. Magpies disturb the red heron. One of the largest budgets for recruitment, thanks to contributions from their Saudi owners.

Eddie Howe’s side want to sign top-flight players but are restricted by Financial Fair Play rules, according to the outlet. Newcastle have spent over €185m this season on players such as Alexander Isak (€67m), Anthony Gordon (€50m), Sven Botman (€39m) and €28m on players such as Nick Pope and Matt Targett. English club Bayer Leverkusen will also pursue young nugget Florian Wirtz and Leicester winger Harvey Barnes.

Newcastle are currently four points behind fourth-placed Tottenham. Qualification for the next edition of the Champions League will help attract top players during the summer transfer window.
