Liverpool target Mason Mount is 'leaning towards' Manchester United should he leave Chelsea during the summer transfer window - according to a new report.
Having shelved their initial plans to sign Borussia Dortmund starlet Jude Bellingham when the market reopens, due to the immense financial costs involved, Jurgen Klopp and his recruitment team will instead spread their budget on several midfield recruits. Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton is a prime option in that regard.
Aside from him, the ECHO understands Mount and Bayern Munich's Ryan Gravenberch are being assessed in a potential shopping list which is longer than it usually would be at this time in the season. However, reports from The Athletic indicate Liverpool have been dealt a blow when it comes to Mount.
