Thiago Silva has expressed his sadness at the likely departure of Mason Mount from Chelsea, as the midfielder closes in on a move to Manchester United. Reports claim that Mount has agreed personal terms with United, although the two clubs have yet to agree a transfer fee. This news has not gone down well with Silva, who reacted to the news with two tearful-face emojis on Instagram.
Frank Lampard, who recently left his role as Chelsea’s caretaker manager, also indicated that Mount would not stay at Stamford Bridge. He said: ‘I think with Mason particularly as an individual, I don’t know what the solution is going to be because it’s the club and Mason’s issue. I don’t know where exactly Mason is at personally, he’s got a year left on his contract. I know he’s held in high regard at the club and I know the club are trying to do what they can to make him stay, but I also think that Mason, I’d never want to stand here in the modern day and talk about what a player should do because they’ll see it all from their own eyes. I think in the old days it would be why are you leaving the club? In the modern day it’s you should move on, and we’ve got into this situation that is happening now.’
