Chelsea legend Didier Drogba expressed his sadness after watching Mason Mount’s goodbye video on social media. Drogba took to his own Instagram story to share his feelings, stating that he was heartbroken listening to Mount’s words.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!It is expected that Mount will soon be announced as a new player for Manchester United, as his relationship with the Chelsea hierarchy deteriorated to the point where he felt he could no longer stay at the club. Despite receiving multiple contract offers, both long-term and short-term, Mount decided to pursue a move away.
There was an option for Mount to revive his Chelsea career under new manager Mauricio Pochettino, but he did not choose to take it. Many top teams showed interest in signing him once it became known that he was looking for a new club, thanks to his impressive performances in recent seasons.
While it has been reported that Liverpool was initially his preferred destination, Mount will be joining Erik ten Hag’s team next season.
In an effort to convey his emotions to the supporters, Mount posted a video directly addressing them. Drogba, among other figures associated with Chelsea, responded to the video by sharing it on his own Instagram story and adding his own message. He referred to Mount as a “prince” and wished him the best in his future endeavors.
When Mount returns to West London, which is currently scheduled for late in the season, it is expected that there will be mixed reactions from the crowd. The once beloved player may now experience a different reception as he faces his former club as an opponent.
