CHELSEA won’t feel pressured to meet Mason Mount’s ‘crazy’ £250,000-a-week wage demands at Stamford Bridge, that is the opinion of pundit Tam McManus

Mount has been brilliant for Chelsea for some time now – but this season he has really struggled to make the impact that many had hoped for, and he has found himself on the bench more often than not.

Add that to the fact he is asking for crazy money – and there is alot of speculation in the media that he will be the next big name to leave the club – with a whole host of big teams linked with a switch.

Now – McManus believes CHELSEA wont feel pressured to give him the wages that he wants but other Premier League clubs are willing to match Mount’s demands and therefore he is ‘pushing the boat out’ at Stamford Bridge.

I think if Mount doesn’t get his wage demands at Chelsea he’ll get them elsewhere instead,” McManus told Football Insider.

I think he’s a very, very good player – still young at 24 years old.

But Chelsea have so many good midfield players, so many attacking midfield players that they won’t feel pressured to meet his demands.

They have a huge squad and aren’t afraid to go out and buy new players at any time.

But I think if he does decide to leave Chelsea, I don’t think he’d be short of options.

There are a lot of big clubs interested in him, so I think he’s pushing the boat out knowing he’ll get a pay rise one way or another.

The money is crazy, demanding £250,000 a week just shows how crazy it’s gotten.
