Manchester United hit stumbling block in Mason Mount transfer pursuit as Liverpool watch on

Liverpool may have been handed a transfer boost with Manchester United, reportedly, holding concerns over Chelsea's £55m valuation for Mason Mount.

Having shelved their initial plans to pursue Borussia Dortmund sensation Jude Bellingham when the market reopens, due to the immense financial costs involved, Jurgen Klopp and the Reds recruitment team will instead spread their budget on several midfield recruits. As things stand, Alexis Mac Allister is among their primary targets.

Countless names continue to do the rounds as possible alternatives - including Mount. However, while it appeared as though United might be in the driving seat for the England international, after a report from The Athletic stated he would prefer to join the Old Trafford outfit if he does leave Chelsea this summer, Liverpool have seemingly been given cause for optimism.
