“There’s always two sides to a story” – John Terry share ‘untold story’ about Mason Mount’s Chelsea exit
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Mason Mount left Chelsea this summer after an 18-year association with the club due to a contract dispute. He eventually joined Erik ten Hag’s team, Manchester United, in a £60 million deal. The dispute arose because Mount, who had one year left on his contract, wanted to increase his weekly wage from £80,000 to £240,000 to reflect his status as a first-team player. However, Chelsea, amid significant spending under Todd Boehly’s ownership, was unwilling to meet his demands due to concerns over Financial Fair Play (FFP).
One way Chelsea has been managing FFP with some new signings is by offering lengthy contracts to amortize the costs over a more extended period, reducing the annual expenditure. In Mount’s case, Chelsea proposed a seven-year deal that would have kept him at the club until 2030, but the terms were far from what he had requested.
Mason Mount eventually joined Manchester United, and former Chelsea legend John Terry has hinted that there might be more to the story than meets the eye. While he didn’t disclose details, Terry suggested that there could be another side to the situation and urged people not to be too harsh on Mount when he returns to face Chelsea in the future.
