Graham Potter disclosed that he spoke with the Chelsea star about his condition after learning about the player's recent media attention.
The Blues manager stated, "In the end, it's between the club and Mason. "I've had several conversations with him about his circumstances, football, and life in general.
"As I said, it's obvious how I feel about Mason. He is a terrific individual, in my opinion. Sometimes these situations arise; they are only complicated, therefore it is better if I briefly discuss them before letting both parties go on.
"I'm not naive; I understand that this is a crucial moment for him, that the contract is crucial, and that these decisions must be appropriate for him and his family. It's critical that he base his judgment on that."
After that, when asked how he plans to keep Mount pleased, Potter responded, "He wants to play just like everyone else. He currently has a minor injury, so it will probably take a little longer for him to recover and be fully accessible.
He is content where he is and wants to support the group. No change there; it is how Mason operates normally. He desires to support the team's success.
