Almost every midfielder in Europe has been linked with a move to Liverpool and it now looks as though a current Chelsea man could be the club’s last notable target as we try to strengthen that area of the pitch.
Writing for CaughtOffside, Fabrizio Romano said: “On the Mason Mount rumours, at the moment, I am told Liverpool’s top priority is still Jude Bellingham and they are also following Matheus Nunes.
“Let’s see what’s going to happen with Mount, at this point his new contract situation needs to be clarified as talks with Chelsea have been ongoing for months.”

Mason Mount is probably not a player that many of our fans would have thought would end up at Anfield, but with 18 months left on his current contract this could be an opportunity to land an experienced player and on a relatively cheap deal.
With the London club in a transition period under Graham Potter, the 24-year-old may see this as the time to move away from Stamford Bridge and head to new pastures in the upcoming transfer windows.
Although Jude Bellingham still seems to be our main target, with Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Arthur Melo and James Milner possibly leaving at the end of the season, we would surely still need to bring in more than one player in midfield.
Whether that’s the England midfielder or not, we’re likely looking at alternatives and people to play alongside the 19-year-old from Borussia Dortmund, so expect plenty more stories in the coming months.
