Mauricio Pochettino's Chelsea arrival has come too late to convince Mason Mount to stay at Chelsea, according to a report.
Pochettino has agreed a deal to become the Blues' new manager at the end of the season, and faces a major rebuilding task as the club look to bounce back from what seems set to be a bottom half finish in the Premier League.
One of the tasks at hand will be sorting out the squad at the club, which is crammed with players that need offloading before they can even think about signing more.
Mount is one of the players the club and Pochettino would like to stay, with the 24-year-old having gone through the academy before going onto become a first team regular and win the Champions League.
But it's believed there is a contract stand-off between the club and the midfielder, with Pochettino, according to The Sun, unlikely to be able to do anything to convince the England midfielder to stay.
Mount was reportedly offered a one-year contract extension in February, but it was rejected and seen as a way to raise his transfer value.
He has been heavily linked with Liverpool as Jurgen Klopp's side look to bounce back from their own poor season and rebuild their midfield.
He's said to be valued at around £60million and seems set to be one of several players to depart Stamford Bridge in the summer transfer window.
Mount is currently injured and hasn't played for several weeks, but he could return for the Blues' final two games of the season against Manchester United and Newcastle.
If he doesn't make it, it's likely he's played his last game for Chelsea with it believed his relationship with the club is at an all-time low.
That will come as a blow to Pochettino, who has identified Mount as someone who can play an integral role in his team next season.
The Argentine is a big admirer of Mount’s ability on the ball and work-ethic and feels the Blues academy graduate would suit the style he wants to implement.

Reading the comments here just makes me ashamed to think I support a club along with a bunch of empty-heads calling themselves Chelsea fans.

The same jokers that said Thiago Silva is desperate to leave Chelsea. Anyone who believes anything from The Sun needs to get a brain transplant.

He's been messed around a lot by multiple managers. Mind you, he's asking for a butt load of cash to sign as well...

Honestly we don't need players with ego. If he loves the club he will stay and not let salary dictate that. He would be great under Poch as a CAM. Poch would also want him to stay cuz he is similar to what he had in Tottenham in Delle Ali and Christian Erikssen. But if he wants to go then let him. I'd be glad to see Connor G. play CAM and scoring goals. We need a striker ASAP. Maybe Poch will bring out something in Lukaku. Would be nice. Osimhen would be ideal. But we have to face reality. We must let go so many players and we don't play in the CL next season, hardly any good player does not want to play CL. But we'll see...
