Liverpool are seriously interested in signing Mason Mount from Chelsea this summer as contract talks with the west London club continue to stall.
The 24-year-old has just over 12 months remaining on his new contract and despite months of negotiations over an extension, the two parties are no closer to settling on an agreement. Mount wants to stay at Chelsea and the feeling is mutual but the two are some way off in what they want regarding an extension.
Mount, who has won player of the season at Chelsea twice since breaking into the first-team in 2019 under Frank Lampard, wants a salary to reflect his importance to the squad. The Blues want to tie Mount down to a contract that would run for around seven years, something the player is not so keen on.
