Chelsea legend John Terry claims there is an \u2018untold story\u2019 over Mason Mount\u2019s move to Manchester United and has urged Blues fans to not be \u2018too harsh\u2019 on the Englishman when he makes a return to Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n
Chelsea news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n
Mount ended his 18-year stay in west London this summer following a lengthy contract dispute, eventually joining Erik ten Hag\u2019s team in a deal worth \u00a360m.<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old had just one year left on his contract and rather than letting him leave on a free transfer, Chelsea decided to cash in on their academy graduate.<\/p>\n
Mount wanted to increase his weekly wage from \u00a380,000 to \u00a3240,000 to reflect his status as a first-team star \u2013 but amid Chelsea\u2019s huge spending spree under Todd Boehly \u2013 they were unwilling to meet his demands due to concerns over FFP.<\/p>\n
One way around FFP, which Chelsea have been doing with some of their new recruits, is to hand players lengthy deals as a way to amortise the cost over a longer period, so they are paying less per year of the contract.<\/p>\n
Chelsea wanted to hand Mount a seven-year deal that would keep him at the club until 2030\u00a0but the terms were nowhere close to what he was demanding.<\/p>\n
That saw Mount eventually join United and Chelsea legend Terry has now claimed there is more to the story than meets the eye.<\/p>\n
\u2018Mase is proper Chels through and through,\u2019 Terry told Knockout Events on Friday.<\/p>\n
\u2018There\u2019s always two sides to a story and I know the other side to it. <\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019m not going to air that tonight but there\u2019s another side to the story. Let\u2019s not be too harsh on him when he comes back.\u2019<\/p>\n
