The fans have named the English international, who has been called up to Gareth Southgate's 26-man World Cup squad, as Chelsea Player of the Year for the previous two years.
With two goals and two assists in 13 Premier League games this season, Mount has not been at his best. His contract expires in the summer of 2024.
The 23 year old's inconsistent play has coincided with Chelsea's dismal season, which has seen the team earn only 11 of a possible 24 points under new manager Graham Potter since he took over for Thomas Tuchel in September.
Reece James and Mount apparently started talking to Chelsea at the same time earlier this season, and James went on to accept a new, generous contract. Chelsea is presently ranked seventh on the Premier League rankings.
Mason Mount's condition has caused clubs to investigate whether they may entice him away from Stamford Bridge, according to the newspaper, while Juventus and Liverpool are "kept track of the growing uncertainty about Mason Mount's future."
Despite taking a critical tone in the article, The Guardian continues: "Chelsea's owners have no interest in losing Mount, who has been associated with the club his entire career, and remain optimistic that negotiations will end on a positive note." The leadership wants to reward Mount's achievements with a better contract since he has established himself as a potential Chelsea captain.
With Mount requesting "a new agreement to match his role as one of Graham Potter's most important players," they go on to say that a deal is "not guaranteed."
Recent years have seen Chelsea struggle to manage contract expirations. The Blues lost Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen to La Liga at the end of the previous campaign, while deals for Thiago Silva, Jorginho, and N'Golo Kante are all up in June.
