As he prepares to take a "break" for the summer, Mason Mount thanked Chelsea supporters for their support throughout the previous season.
It's possible that Mount played his final match for the Blues after missing Chelsea's season finale due to a pelvic injury as the summer transfer window approaches and he may be traded.
As Mount approaches the end of his contract, he has been warned that if he does not agree to an extension, he will be sold this summer. Although Mount has turned down every offer made to him thus far, negotiations have not yet come to a conclusion because incoming boss Mauricio Pochettino is reported to be eager to hold onto Mount.
Ben Chilwell threw his arm around his good friend Mount as they made their way toward the tunnel following the 1-1 draw that ended the season on Sunday at Stamford Bridge.
After what has certainly been a difficult season, Mount later used Instagram to address Chelsea supporters.
It's fair to say that this season has had its ups and downs, but your support has remained constant, he said.
"While traveling across the nation, you were by our side at every turn, even though there were times when we didn't deserve you. But this is the perfect time to rest and recharge. Thank you, and have fun with your summertime blues.
Chelsea officials are willing to sell one of their most precious assets before Mount enters the final year of his contract, but the club hasn't given up on keeping Mount despite Pochettino's efforts to keep the England international.
Rival Premier League teams like Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United are reportedly eager to capitalize on the scenario and have bids prepared for the 24-year-old player in case he does decide to reach the open market.
