However, according to the Daily Mail, negotiations aren’t expected to go too smoothly when he returns to England, with the report claiming the two parties are far apart.

Mount has reportedly rejected a £200,000 a week offer as he wants to receive a similar amount to his teammate Sterling, who earns around £300,000 a week.

The report claims that Mount is one of the lowest earners at the club as it stands, so you can understand him wanting to be rewarded for his service to Chelsea so far and to receive a similar wage to some of his teammates.
