"There is no permanent feast in this world, especially in the ever-changing world of sports. Who would have thought that just three years after winning the UEFA Champions League, Chelsea's entire championship-winning squad would be reduced to just three players? What's even more poignant is that Mason Mount, once considered the least likely to leave Chelsea, ended up leaving due to disagreements with the club's management, leaving many Chelsea fans feeling regretful.

Mount was one of the most beloved players among Chelsea fans in the past few seasons, winning the club's Player of the Season award for two consecutive seasons. In addition to helping the team lift the UEFA Champions League trophy after a decade-long wait, and his status as a product of Chelsea's youth academy, no Chelsea fan would have imagined that just three years after that memorable night in the Champions League final, Mount would leave Chelsea at the age of 25, and the reason for his departure was an irreconcilable conflict with the club's management.

Mount's contract extension negotiations with Chelsea had made little progress since last year, and according to insider reports, both Chelsea and Mount initially intended to reach an agreement on the extension. However, their contract negotiations deteriorated over time, ultimately breaking down completely after the third round of talks. Chelsea was unwilling to let Mount, who had only one year left on his contract, stay with the club, and he was eventually sold to Manchester United.

As for the reasons behind the breakdown of negotiations between Mount and Chelsea, the actual reasons are varied. No one expected Chelsea to let go of their youth product, and no one expected Mount, a product of the academy, to be uncompromising in negotiations. Chelsea legend Joe Cole discussed the reasons for Mount's departure in an interview, but only vaguely mentioned that there were catastrophic issues between Mount and Chelsea, without elaborating further.

Regardless of the reasons, the squad that represented Chelsea in winning championships is no longer there. Today's Chelsea is a brand new team with unfamiliar faces. However, there is no doubt that they are a group of highly talented players. Changing generations is common in football, but in Chelsea's rapid transition, everything happened so quickly, leaving people struggling to digest the changes and ultimately feeling nostalgic."

If I were Mount, I would also leave because today's Chelsea is not the same as yesterday's Chelsea.

Chelsea is currently in a state of turmoil as well.
