Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount has less than 18 months left on his current contract with the London club and renewal negotiations have now stalled.
According to a report by Football Insider, the two sides have yet to reach an agreement on the renewal and Liverpool are hoping to take advantage of their situation and bring the 24-year-old to Anfield at the end of the season.
Mount has been an important player for Chelsea ever since they burst onto the first-team scene and his departure would be a blow to Chelsea. On the other hand, Liverpool desperately need midfield reinforcements and the England international would be an excellent addition to them.
The 24-year-old will add creativity and goals from midfield and Jurgen Klopp could certainly use someone like him.
Players like Alex Oxlade Chamberlain and Naby Keita will leave the club on a free transfer when their contract expires and Liverpool will need to bring in more than one central midfielder at the end of the season.

The Reds have been heavily linked with a Jude Bellingham move and Mason Mount would also be a nice addition. The England international is well established in the Premier League and could make an immediate impact at Anfield.
It remains to be seen if Mount is prepared to leave his boyhood club and join a Premier League rival at the end of the season.
There is still plenty of time for Chelsea and Mount to come to an agreement regarding a contract renewal and fans are certainly expecting an extension to be signed in the coming months.
