      It comes as he prepares to enter the final 12 months of his contract after talks over a new deal broke down.
      Man Utd are considered the frontrunners for Mount as Erik ten Hag looks to bolster his squad this summer.
      But their opening £40m bid has been rejected out of hand by Chelsea.
      It is believed to be a long way off the valuation made by Stamford Bridge chiefs.

      Mount has played 195 games for his boyhood club, contributing 33 goals and 37 assists.
      He lifted the Champions League in 2021 under Thomas Tuchel, but fell out of favour during the 2022-23 campaign after Graham Potter took charge.
      Owner Todd Boehly is keen to avoid players departing for free and so has made it a priority to shift stars with just one year left on their contracts.
      But Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher believes Man Utd should go for Declan Rice rather than Mount.

      Rice, 24, who is best friends with Mount, looks set to join Arsenal after West Ham chairman David Sullivan confirmed the Europa Conference League triumph was his final game for the club.
      But Carragher feels United need to be in for Rice over Mount as he told Metro.co.uk: “Mason Mount is an upgrade on Christian Eriksen in terms of where he plays.

      “But going back to Declan Rice, United are one of the few teams at the top who don’t play 4-3-3, it’s usually two midfielders with Bruno Fernandes.
      “Declan Rice and Mason Mount, they are very different players and it shouldn’t be one or the other but when you look at what Manchester United have got right now, I actually think Declan Rice would be a better fit for them. A lot more expensive of course.
      “I do think he (Mount) is a good player and I like him, I wanted Liverpool to get him. Lots of coaches have picked him and like him. 
      “There is already a good player in there but Declan Rice would suit United more than Mason Mount in terms of how they set up.” More

      Nizaar Kinsella in the Evening Standard reports that the striker has a £30million release clause and is seen as a cheaper alternative should Chelsea fail in their pursuit of Victor Osimhen.
      Incoming Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino is a big fan of the 21-year-old Senegalese international who ended the LaLiga season in blistering fashion.
      Jackson scored nine goals in his final eight LaLiga games as part of a season that saw him score 13 and assist five times in 38 appearances.
      Chelsea representatives met last week to discuss making a move for the young forward.

      The Blues’ hierarchy have widened their net as they search for a new number nine amid reports that Napoli’s Osimhen, 24, would cost £100m to prise away from Italy.
      The club will also consider Atalanta’s Rasmus Hojlund, 20, and Juventus’ Dusan Vlahovic, 23, who are both rated as £65m players according to the Evening Standard.
      Chelsea will have to operate cautiously in this window with the club on a UEFA watchlist due to their £600m spending since Todd Boehly’s takeover.
      The club have already agreed to sign RB Leipzig forward Christopher Nkunku for £50m this summer with Fabrizio Romano reporting that he will be officially announced on June 19th following his final game of the season for France.

      Chelsea are also in the market for a new goalkeeper, with Pochettino not seeing Kepa Arrizabalaga and Edouard Mendy as first choice options.
      The club are looking for a new shot-stopper who is adept with the ball at his feet and have kept tabs on Brentford’s David Raya and Inter Milan’s Andre Onana.
      Although it now looks as though Brentford’s Raya is Tottenham-bound after multiple reports that the keeper has agreed personal terms with the North London club. More

      Lukaku – who has spent the past year on-loan at Inter Milan – previously revealed that he was unhappy at Stamford Bridge, so he could seal a permanent transfer before the 2023-24 campaign kicks off.
      Meanwhile, Havertz has been linked with both Arsenal and Real Madrid.
      With Chelsea in desperate need of a new frontman, Pochettino has set his sights on Juventus ace Vlahovic.
      And according to Italian football journalist Rudy Galetti, the Blues are expected to open talks with the Serie A side over a potential transfer.

      Some Chelsea fans are now doubting if he will be an upgrade from Lukaku.
      One person tweeted: “Vlahovic has flop written all over it, not even scored that many this season either. I’d rather give Lukaku another go until we can go for Toney when his ban is up.”

      While another added: “Is Vlahovic even really much of an upgrade on Lukaku?”
      The Blues are set to let go of several first team players this summer in order to make way for more signings.
      Mason Mount and Mateo Kovacic are on the verge of joining Manchester United and Manchester City respectively, while N’Golo Kante’s move to Saudi Arabia has been all but confirmed. More

      Mason Mount warned against ‘weird move’ to Man Utd by former Premier League star as he names ideal transfer

      by

      MASON MOUNT has been warned against making a “weird move” to Manchester United by a former Premier League star.The Chelsea midfielder has been strongly linked with a switch to Old Trafford this summer – with the Reds trying to knock down Chelsea’s £70million asking price.

      Mount is expected to leave the Blues after 18 years after failing to agree terms on a new contract.
      With the 24-year-old entering the final year of his current deal, Chelsea are now set to part ways with the midfielder.
      United are understood to be the frontrunners to land his signature as talks continue over a deal.
      However, former Chelsea full-back Glen Johnson believes Mount would be better off joining Liverpool instead.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      Speaking to Betfred, he explained: “I am shocked that it looks as if Mason’s heading to Old Trafford.
      “I don’t believe that Manchester United needs Mason and I believe that it’s a weird move for the player as well. Manchester United is obviously a huge club, but they’re not nailed on to win anything.
      “I believe that Chelsea need to keep him and it would be strange to see them allow Mason to make the move to Manchester United.
      “If he was to leave Chelsea for another Premier League club, then I believe Liverpool would have suited him better.”

      Liverpool have been linked with Mount in recent weeks but are thought to have admitted defeat in the race to sign him.
      Jurgen Klopp’s side are reportedly now eyeing a deal to sign James Ward-Prowse from relegated Southampton as they continue their midfield overhaul.
      Mount endured a stop-start 2022/23 season due to injuries, with a pelvis issue sidelining him for much of the second half of the campaign.
      Despite that, United would welcome a player with 33 goals and 37 assists in 195 Chelsea appearances if they can complete the signing.

      Chelsea fans praise Mykhailo Mudryk with £88m transfer flop ready to make drastic career decision

      by

      CHELSEA fans have praised £88million transfer-flop Mykhailo Mudryk for his decision to play for Ukraine’s Under-21 side this summer.The Blues won the race to sign the highly-rated youngster in January despite long-term interest in him from rivals’ Arsenal.
      Mudryk largely found himself as a substitute last seasonCredit: Getty
      His time in West London has not gone to plan however, with the winger not registering a goal in his 15 Premier League appearances and contributing just two assists.
      The Telegraph report that Mudryk will make himself available for his country’s U21s European Championship side this summer in a bid to rediscover his form – which has impressed incoming manager Mauricio Pochettino.
      Mudryk is currently with the Ukraine senior squad as they prepare for their own European Championship qualifiers against North Macedonia on Friday night and against Malta next week.
      He started for Ukraine in their friendly against Germany yesterday which ended in a 3-3 draw.
      READ MORE ON CHELSEA
      Despite turning 22 in January, the winger is eligible to play for Ukraine in the U21 championship – which starts next Wednesday and is being held in Georgia and Romania – as he was 21 when the season started.
      Chelsea will not stand in the winger’s way if he wants to play in the tournament given the limited minutes he has featured in since joining the club.

      He completed just one 90 minute game in the league this season.
      It is understood that Mudryk would like to maximise the minutes he plays this summer in a bid to find rhythm ahead of the upcoming 2023-24 season.
      Most read in Football

      And Chelsea fans have reacted positively to the news that Mudryk will play for his U21s.
      One fan said: “Mentality not to give up”
      Another said: “Keep fighting young man, eventually it will pay off!”
      While a third added: “Good lad. He needs to rebuild that confidence for sure”
      Ukraine’s U21s find themselves in Group B for the tournament in Georgia and Romania – the group includes Spain and Croatia as well as co-hosts Romania.
      If the winger is called up to the U21s he will no doubt be one of the star attractions at the tournament.
      England are in Group C and will play rivals’ Germany as well as the Czech Republic and Israel.
      A number of Premier League stars are part of England’s provisional squad, including: Arsenal’s Emile Smith Rowe, Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher, Noni Madueke, Levi Colwill and Lewis Hall as well as Tottenham’s Oliver Skipp.
      England’s final squad will be announced tomorrow. More

      Premier League clubs on transfer red alert as Kylian Mbappe tells PSG he WON’T extend contract & could be sold in summer

      by

      KYLIAN MBAPPE has informed Paris Saint-Germain he will not extend his contract, reports suggest.Mbappe’s deal with PSG runs out in 2024 but there is a clause that could see him stay until 2025.

      The extra year, though, is a player option, which means it is up to the forward whether he wants to trigger it or not.
      According to L’Equipe, however, the star striker has sent the French champions a formal letter informing them that under no circumstances will he be activating that option.
      Therefore, the Parisians might have to sell the France international this summer to avoid losing him for free next year.
      Just yesterday PSG insisted the 24-year-old won’t be leaving the Parc des Princes in the upcoming transfer window.

      But Mbappe’s letter has turned things around and “everything is now open”.
      If the ex-Monaco star does not trigger the extra year he will be free to pen a pre-contract agreement with a club outside of France in January.
      Real Madrid were very keen to land Mbappe last summer before he signed his current PSG deal, which is worth a reported total of £500million throughout a three-year period.
      But Real are already set to splash a significant amount on Borussia Dortmund superstar Jude Bellingham, who will be worth at least £100m.

      That means the Premier League’s biggest clubs could come knocking for Mbappe.
      Liverpool were previously linked with the Frenchman whereas Chelsea are desperate for a leader in attack.
      Newcastle could also invest their Saudi owners’ mega riches on one of the world’s best players.
      And Manchester United could be taken over by Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani, who is keen to start his bid of restoring the club to the top by signing a top star.
      If Mbappe leaves then that means PSG could lose their entire star-studded frontline with Lionel Messi’s going to Inter Miami and Neymar on the verge of his own departure. More

      The Blues had the option to make the forward’s move permanent but new manager Mauricio Pochettino opted against it amid a major squad overhaul at Stamford Bridge.
      According to the Daily Mail, the Portugal international is still set to leave Atletico due to his strained relationship with Simeone.
      And the 23-year-old hinted that Turkey could be his next destination after linking up with Galatasaray on social media.
      And the Turkish champions’ president Dursun Ozbek strongly suggested a deal could be on the cards.

      Ozbek told Mundo Deportivo: “The fact that Joao Felix is following Galatasaray shows how important Galatasaray is.”
      Felix has fallen out of favour in Madrid but Atletico are still not going to let him go on the cheap.

      Therefore, another loan deal appears likelier as Atleti are keen to recoup a lion share of the £113million they splashed for him in 2019.
      That is despite CEO Miguel Angel Gil Marin strongly hinting recently that the ex-Benfica star will be leaving Atletico.

      Gil Marin said: “Felix is the biggest bet the club has ever made.
      “I think he’s a high-performance player, one of the best in the world, but, for reasons that it’s not worth naming now, the relationship between him and the coach is not good, nor is his motivation.
      “I would love for it to continue, but that is not the player’s intention.” More
