Liverpool increasingly confident of signing Mason Mount

Liverpool are increasingly confident of signing Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount during the summer transfer window.

The England international has made nearly 200 appearances for the Blues but he could leave them at the end of the season.

Mount will enter the final year of his Blues deal this summer and reports claim that he has yet to accept terms over a renewal.

The current wage proposal is below his expectations and TalkSPORT claim that the Reds are growing confident of landing him.

The Blues are likely to demand a fee of around £50 million, but may have to accept less if there is no competition for his services.

Mount's performances have dipped over the past few weeks and reports claim that he has been distracted by contract talks.

Chelsea have now stalled negotiations until the summer and it appears more and more likely that Mount will leave the club for good.

Aside from Mount, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Mateo Kovacic have also been fancied to head for the exit door this summer.
