The future of Mason Mount at Chelsea appears no clearer after manager Graham Potter refused to be drawn on the matter.
And that could pave the way for a summer move to Anfield, after multiple reports suggested that the midfielder could be on his way out of Stamford Bridge at the end of the season.
Mount has been with the West London club since he was six years old, but the Metro reports that the 24-year-old, who currently earns £80,000 a week, wants a much-improved contract that puts him on a level playing field with some of the club's top new signings.
