Mason Mount's priority emerges as Liverpool and Bayern Munich battle for Chelsea star

The Chelsea midfielder has been rumoured to be leaving Stamford Bridge this summer as contract talks drag on, but he is said to have a preference over his future

Mason Mount is still said to be hopeful of a resolution to his Chelsea future as Liverpool and Bayern Munich monitor his stalling contract talks.

The England midfielder, 24, has one year left on his current deal at the end of this season, and talks over a new contract have dragged on for months while the Blues have brought in several new faces.

There have been suggestions that Mount could be offloaded in order to help Chelsea comply with Financial Fair Play regulations, but The Athletic report that his preference would be to stay at Chelsea despite ongoing interest from Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool and Bayern, who appointed former Blues boss Thomas Tuchel last week.
