Chelsea already have midfielders on their radar regarding Mason Mount’s replacement. It seems they are ready to let the Englishman leave next season.
The Blues academy product remains one of the most consistent players for the West London club.
Of course, letting him leave may affect the team’s performance, particularly when he joins other Premier League clubs.
Reportedly, Liverpool and Manchester United are keeping tabs on his situation at Chelsea.
Which means they are most likely to make an attempt to get his signature next campaign.
Nevertheless, Anfield seems like his most preferred destination, because Jurgen Klopp is a big fan of the player.
At the same time, Mason Mount will definitely flourish in the Reds’ midfield, under the 4-3-3 formation.
His situation keeps getting worse and more difficult at the West London club. He’s most likely not going to extend his contract with the Blues.
As a result, Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali are reportedly monitoring some brilliant and talented midfielders in the league.
Meanwhile, one of Manchester United’s former players is on their list, under the canopy of preparing for life after Mount.
The Englishman was unstoppable under Frank Lampard and Thomas Tuchel. However, his contract talks aren’t going smoothly with the club.
Chelsea are reportedly monitoring Andreas Pereira of Fulham situations, considering him as an ideal Mason Mount’s replacement.
Potential-wise, the Brazilian has the ability to boost any team’s performance from the midfield.
Of course, he has been making headlines with Fulham since the beginning of the 2022-2023 campaign.
As a result, the West London club sees him as an ideal candidate to replace Mason Mount ahead of the summer’s transfer window.
Andreas Pereira started his football career at Manchester United. However, he left the club because things went south for him at Old Trafford.
Pereira can literally play every available position in the midfield, except the defensive role.
He plays as an attacking midfielder, but he can also dazzle as a central or left midfielder.
Obviously, it looks like Andreas has many things in common with the Englishman. He has what it takes to perform as Mason Mount’s replacement.
Even though Chelsea have the likes of Conor Gallagher, Andrey Santos and Carney Chukwuemeka in the squad.
They would definitely want to sign a new attacking midfielder, if Mount actually leaves Stamford Bridge in the summer.
Andreas Pereira made 45 appearances for Manchester United and scored just 2 goals. As a result, he went on loan, four different clubs.
However, he’s currently one of the most creative players in the Premier League, dining with the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and Bruno Fernandes.
Statistically, Pereira averages 2.1 key passes and 1.06 shots per 90 minutes. The Brazilian can actually boost the team’s offensive display.
Mason Mount’s Replacement: Can the Englishman possibly leave Chelsea?
The West London club’s academy product has a bigger chance of leaving Stamford Bridge than staying.
His contract expires at the end of the 2022-2023 campaign, which is June. And, his deal extension is currently on hold, not going well.
The Englishman recently announced a new agent, Neil Fewings (ROOF Group), who will partner with his father, Tony Mount.
So as to be able to help with his contract talks with Chelsea. Of course, the player deserves whatever he’s asking for from the club.
Mason Mount earns £80,000 per week, while Reece James earns £250,000 and Kai Havertz earns €180,000.
Even though the player doesn’t deserve close to what the Blues right-back is earning at the club.
However, potential-wise, he deserves more than £80,000 per week. His statistics speak enough for what the player wants.
