Liverpool could sign Mason Mount for less than £70m

Journalist Ben Jacobs has told CaughtOffside that Liverpool could be able to sign Mason Mount from Chelsea in the summer transfer window. 

The well-known and well-respected journalist has claimed that Liverpool believe that they could be able to secure the services of the England international midfielder for less than £70 million.

Jacobs said: “There is a real chance Mason Mount joins from Chelsea. Mount is no closer to signing a Chelsea extension and Liverpool see a chance to get him for a bargain. 

“Chelsea will still try, and their new manager could be a key factor, but right now Mount can be pitched a more defined and integral role at Liverpool. 

“And although Chelsea may try for £70m, Liverpool believe the price will be less.”
