      by

      However, the playmaker’s contract runs out next year and talks of an extension have hit a snag, which means his future appears uncertain while some of Europe’s biggest hitters are circling in.
      According to The Mail, the England international will command a staggering asking price of £80million.
      The 24-year-old has attracted interest from Chelsea’s Premier League rivals Newcastle and Liverpool amid his ongoing struggles which have seen him tumble down the pecking order.
      The Magpies seem the most likely to meet Mount’s fee thanks to their wealthy Saudi owners.

      However, the Toon are determined not to shatter their wage structure even if they qualify for next season’s Champions League.
      Bruno Guimaraes is among Newcastle’s highest earners with a weekly wage of £120,000, while Mount makes at least £250,000 per week at Stamford Bridge.
      Liverpool are also unlikely to splash the cash after pulling out of the transfer war over Borussia Dortmund superstar Jude Bellingham.
      Many fans want Mount to stay after becoming a key player in the last four years, insisting other underachievers should depart from Chelsea’s inflated squad instead.

      However, many would be happy for owner Todd Boehly to sell up and raise much-needed funds after his unsuccessful £600m spending spree since taking over.
      One fan tweeted: “Send Mount & [Conor] Gallagher packing.”
      Another posted: “We can sell Mount and a couple of guys.”

      The Merseysiders have since been linked with Gravenberch, who continues to struggle for minutes at Bayern under Thomas Tuchel just like he did during Julian Nagelsmann’s tenure.
