Liverpool have been encouraged to sign Mateo Kovacic if Chelsea sanction the midfielder's exit. The 28-year-old faces an increasingly uncertain future at Stamford Bridge having recently entered the final year-and-a-half of his contract.
Kovacic has featured 19 times in the Premier League for the Blues this term, directly contributing towards two goals. Despite a sparse output in the final third, the Croatia international has performed excellently for the west London outfit and he's even captained the side several times.
Mason Mount, who also sees his contract at Chelsea expiring at the end of next season, has been subject to serious interest from Liverpool for a while, football.london understands. With the Blues reportedly putting a £50million price tag on the Cobham graduate, Kovacic has been suggested as an alternative option who would 'suit the Reds very well'.
