After the Reds ended their pursuit of Borussia Dortmund teen Jude Bellingham, Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount is said to be Liverpool’s top midfield transfer target.
According to Football Insider, Jurgen Klopp’s team has been forced to give up on Bellingham, who is 19 years old, because his expected value is £130 million, including wages. They are looking into other options, and Chelsea’s Mount has emerged as their primary target.
Before they gave up on Bellingham, there were a lot of people talking about Mount moving to Anfield. Negotiations have stalled due to the English attacker’s wage demands, and he has one year left on his contract. The Blues midfielder needs to be set among the most noteworthy workers at Stamford Scaffold.
This season, he has fallen down Chelsea’s pecking order, appearing 32 times in all competitions, assisting on six goals, and scoring three goals. However, he started on the substitutes bench for the majority of Graham Potter’s tenure as manager.
Frank Lampard, a well-known admirer of Mount, has taken Potter’s place as caretaker boss since then. The English coach, on the other hand, is not his permanent replacement and will have little to no say over his departure this summer.
Given their poor start to the season, Liverpool is expected to make a lot of changes to their team. They are out of all cup competitions and are eighth in the league, 12 points behind the top four teams. However, they will not be able to add the necessary players to their team due to the cost of Bellingham.
Mount is currently at the top of the Reds’ wishlist, and it is anticipated that they will sign two or three new midfielders. In the interim, his Blues colleague Conor Gallagher is likewise an objective, as is Brighton and Hove Albion’s Moises Caicedo.
The odds are stacked in Liverpool’s favor of acquiring Alexis Mac Allister from Chelsea:
Another player who is being considered for a summer transfer to Liverpool is Brighton midfielder Alexis Mac Allister. Fichajes, a Spanish distribution, says that the Reds are presently the top choices to sign the Argentine, who has gotten a ton of interest from clubs in the Chief Association.
The midfielder, who is having an impressive season at the Amex, is being pursued by Manchester United as well as Chelsea. In 29 games, he has scored 10 goals and two assists.
At the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Mac Allister, who is 24 years old, led Argentina to their third World Cup title. In six appearances, he contributed one assist and scored one goal.
