Liverpool's expected midfield rebuild could be driven by Premier League rules this summer.
And that gives further credence to speculation that the Reds could be prepared to make a swoop for Mason Mount, should he fail to agree new terms with Chelsea.
The 24-year-old England star is in the final 18 months of his current contract at Stamford Bridge, but according to The Guardian, he is looking for a considerable uplift in his £75,000-per-week wages. Chelsea are thought to be are wary of losing a player who has been at the club since he was six-years-old to one of their main rivals and they will have good reason to suspect that interest is legitimate.
