Liverpool have been linked to the star but it appears he could have other big club suitors.
Goal report that Mount is seen at a potential alternative to first-choice signing Declan Rice, who happens to be one of Mount's close friends.
Arsenal are believed to have already been in talks with the 24-year-old over his availability.
Along with Liverpool, both Manchester clubs and Newcastle have also been linked with a move for Mount.
Not long ago he was Chelsea's jewel in the crown but has struggled with form and injuries this season.
The club are also needing to get rid of several players after the new ownership's unprecedented spending spree this season.
Chelsea spent around £600m in two windows and were left with a first-team squad so bloated that the changing room could not contain all of their players.
They have also got more pressing financial reasons to try and raise cash after revealing a huge hit to the club's coffers earlier this year.
Mount has been at Chelsea since he was a 5-year-old and was promoted to their senior team in 2018.
Since returning from a successful loan at Derby in 2019, he has become an important part of Chelsea's squad.
His best moment was the assist he provided Kai Havertz who scored the Champions League-winning goal in 2021.
