Liverpool have now held serious conversations about signing Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount at the end of the season.
Liverpool are pushing to sign Mason Mount
That’s according to The Athletic, who claim that Liverpool’s interest in signing Mount is ‘serious’.
It’s suggested that ‘significant conversations’ have now taken place over Mount joining Liverpool this summer.
Liverpool are even considering the kind of wages they can offer Mount if he makes the move from Chelsea this summer.
Chelsea will seemingly be open to a summer transfer as Mount is now inside the final 18 months of his contract.
The Blues don’t want to see Mount leave for free in 2024 and would seemingly allow him to leave if a new deal can’t be figured out in the coming weeks.
Chelsea would want around £70million for Mount, which is a price many clubs may feel is excessive.
Mount’s contract is running down and Liverpool will surely attempt to negotiate that fee down this summer.
Liverpool surely the most likely destination for Mount

Manchester City, Manchester United, Newcastle United and even Tottenham Hotspur are all mentioned as Mount suitors.
Bayern Munich have even been mentioned after their decision to appoint Mount’s ex-Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel.
Yet for weeks now, it has felt like Liverpool are the ones to watch for Mount.
TalkSPORT actually claimed earlier in March that Liverpool were gaining confidence in their pursuit of the Chelsea man.
Add in 90Min suggesting in March that Liverpool have a belief that Mount would pick a move to Anfield over other Premier League clubs, and it’s starting to feel like Liverpool believe they can get their man.
Liverpool need midfielders this summer and with Jude Bellingham hopes in doubt, maybe the Reds will go in another direction.
Mount plus another midfielder could be worth around the same value as Bellingham, maybe even less, allowing Jurgen Klopp room for other signings.
Hailed as a ‘big talent’ by former Reds midfielder Steven Gerrard, Mount could be Liverpool’s big midfield addition of the summer.
