Chelsea have reiterated their desire to keep hold of Mason Mount beyond this summer - with the midfielder reportedly holding "positive" talks with co-owner Todd Boehly last week.
The 24-year-old is set to enter the final 12 months of his contract at Stamford Bridge and has been heavily linked with a move to Liverpool this summer, with Jurgen Klopp a long-term admirer.
And after cooling their long-time pursuit of England and Borussia Dortmund ace Jude Bellingham earlier this month, Mount is one of a number of Premier League midfielders who have been linked with a move to Anfield this summer.
