Chelsea Football Club legend John Terry has revealed some surprising insights into why Mason Mount chose to depart Stamford Bridge. The former Blues captain shared his thoughts during an interview reported by Simon Phillips on the evening of Friday, September 8, 2023. According to Terry, he recognizes there are two sides to every story and hinted at undisclosed details regarding Chelsea’s dealings with Mount.
Terry stated, “Mase is a true Chelsea guy through and through. There are always two perspectives, and I’m privy to the other side of this situation. I won’t divulge it tonight, but there’s more to the story. Let’s not be too quick to judge Mason when he returns.”
Mount’s departure from Chelsea stemmed from his inability to reach an agreement on a new contract with the club. Reports suggested that the midfielder was dissatisfied with the proposed contract duration and compensation offered by Chelsea, leading him to make the move to Manchester United.
He has since signed a long-term contract with the Red Devils, potentially keeping him at Old Trafford until 2028, with an option for an extension until 2029.
