Chelsea star rejects £200,000 a week new contract offer as he wants similar salary to teammate

Posted by

Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount has rejected a contract offer of £200,000 a week as he wants a similar salary to teammate Raheem Sterling.

Mason Mount has quickly become a key player for Chelsea over the last few years. After learning his trade out on loan, Mount returned to Stamford Bridge and has become a fan favourite at Chelsea.

The England international is currently out in Qatar at the World Cup, so contract negotiations between him and Chelsea will have been put on hold.

Mason Mount has started England’s opening two World Cup games in Qatar.

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.

  1. HERE WE GO AGAIN, MORE GREED. IF THAT IS ALL THAT IS IMPORTANT TO MOUNT— GET SHOT OF HIM HAD ENOUGH OF RUDIGER. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE DO NOT EARN THAT MONEY IN 3 YEARS, WHILE OTHERS ARE STARVING. THIS CLUB THAT I HAVE SUPPORTED FOR OVER 60 YEARS HAS CHANGED IT,S MORALS, MAY NEED TO WALK UP THE ROAD TO FULHAM ————HOW SAD

    1. Spot on. Good player but not at that price. 18 months left on his contract so now is the time to cash on either a sale or swap deal. Good luck to the lad if he can find a mug somewhere who’s willing to pay that wage.

  3. All about money nowadays. Not the game anymore. Sale him then. Someone want play not just the money. Team not one man game.

  4. Not now, you don’t need this attitude now. Raheem sterling is not in your class, his more senior to you in terms of placement. If you insist of higher pay, I will advise the club to sell or swap you. Learn to grow in career path.

  5. Give him the amount, because I know if he signs a five year deal it’ll be a fair on coz lowers value with time

  6. That salary is still lower than what he can provide for chelsea yet some of his teammates earn more than his and they are bench warmers
