The Englishman is the priority of Jurgen Klopp. Liverpool recently pulled out of Jude Bellingham’s race due to financial issues. They desperately need a midfielder to boost their squad ahead of season 2023/23. Mason Mount looks ideal target for them.
According to the last month’s report from 90min, Mason Mount and Chelsea are having a healthy discussion. Sources have confirmed that another round of negotiations has been scheduled for the coming weeks.
Mason Mount remains one of the main targets for Liverpool since February, in case he’s gonna be available on the market. 🔴 #LFC

Blues have to deal with another project which is finding a new manager. Frank Lampard has taken a manager job for a temporary period after sacking Graham Potter last week following the defeat against Aston Villa. Reports are saying Mason Mount is in Chelsea’s plan for the new season.
Chelsea will soon finalise one name among Julian Nagelsmann, Luis Enrique, and Mauricio Pochettino. The English midfielder gets fit into the club’s setup. The club is also sure that they will convince him to stay at Stamford Bridge.
An agreement hinted at a willingness to agree to a shorter contract. They have tied Ben Chilwell down to a four-year deal which have been handed out to various players across the season. It’s obvious that the new owner will add approx two years to Mount’s contract. The 24-year-old can accept this.
Liverpool can only wait for the result. After pulling out of Bellingham’s race, they are keen to sign Mason Mount. If the academy graduate denies Chelsea’s plans then it might be a win-win situation for Liverpool.
