Mason Mount appears to be getting closer to leaving Chelsea with each passing day.
The midfielder is at a crossroad in contract talks with the club, and the Blues will sell him this summer if a new deal isn’t reached.
According to The Athletic, Liverpool are currently favourites to sign him, and have already held “significant conversations” about they type of contract they would propose to him, and how he would fit into Jurgen Klopp’s system.
The stumbling block may be the price-tag, with Chelsea asking for as much as £70m for Mount. Given that Mount will be heading into the final year of his contract, it is sensible to assume the asking price will be lowered if the player pushes for a move away from Stamford Bridge.
