Liverpool remain interested in Chelsea star Mason Mount after contract extension talks were halted with the Blues due to wage demands. The England international sees his current deal expire in 2024 and talks regarding fresh terms were discussed before the World Cup began in November but no significant progress was made.
Like Chelsea, Jurgen Klopp needs to inject fresh life into the Liverpool midfield and after becoming aware of the slow to no progress being made to secure Mounts future, the Reds began keeping tabs on the attacking midfielder and thus any developments in his contract saga.
Despite featuring as a first-team player, due to new arrivals and big-money contracts being agreed for several of his team-mates, Mount is one of the lowest earners at the club, earning a weekly wage of £80,000 (according to Spotrac) which prior to the Blues' January business, places him as the sixth lowest earner at the club.
