Chelsea owner Todd Boehly has held contract talks with Mason Mount.
The attacking midfielder is in danger of leaving the club where he has played his entire career.
Mount has come through the Chelsea academy, but may now leave in the summer if he does not renew his deal.
Per The Athletic's David Ornstein, Boehly has once again gone to the negotiating table to sort out the issue.
He told Rio Ferdinand Presents FIVE: You can still have dialogue and I revealed that on Friday of last week there was a conversation directly between Todd Boehly, Chelsea's controlling co-owner, and Mason Mount personally.
What was reiterated to Mount is how important he is to Chelsea and how much they would like to renew him if they can.
Now that's their perspective, they came away from it with some positive feeling that for the first time in a long time perhaps there is some light at the end of the tunnel.
But there are two people in this equation it is not a foregone conclusion that they will get what they want, especially when there is growing interest in Mason Mount from the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, from Thomas Tuchel who is very fond of him because he managed him whether Bayern Munich are backing him on that we'll have to wait and see.
It's a massive decision for both parties. Chelsea's view is either we renew or we'll sell. Mason Mount has the power to stick around for another year, if he doesn't want to sign another contract, and leave as a free agent in 2024."
