Chelsea manager Graham Potter has admitted Mason Mount's contract situation at Stamford Bridge is 'complicated' to comment on.
The England international has been at Chelsea since joining as a youngster in 2005 and made his debut in 2017, but he is now in the final 18 months of his contract and Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing him.
Mount is also thought to be a target for Manchester United as it has been reported the 24-year-old is unsure about the current project taking place at Stamford Bridge.

The England star is a fixture in the Chelsea midfield, but his reported £80,000 a week contract is far behidn the current top earners at the club and he wants parity.
Potter said in his pre-match press conference: "It's always complicated [to comment on this]. It's best I leave it with Mason and the club. For sure Mount has been fantastic to work with, important player. I hope it gets resolved quickly."
