Chelsea owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali have been warned it would be stupid to sell Mason Mount in the summer amid interest from Liverpool and Manchester United.

The England midfielder’s contract at Stamford Bridge expires in 2024 and has not accepted the offer he has been made by Chelsea.

Boehly reportedly wants to sell Mount in the summer if he doesn’t sign a new contract to avoid losing him as a free agent next year.

“Chelsea should try their best to keep Mount. I know he’s been linked with some big clubs, but taking away this season, he has been remarkable and he’s grown up with the club,” former Chelsea midfielder Emmanuel Petit told Premier League Odds.

“He was developing into a brilliant midfield player, with goals and assists, and I think this year has been a transition year for Chelsea – so don’t put everything in a rubbish bin.

“He’s one of the last English players in the dressing room, too, which is very important for the fans.

“Chelsea should not make a stupid decision to sell Mount, he should stay at Chelsea.”
