 over the last two months for a potential summer transfer.

Mount's contract renewal talks have been at a stalemate since December and reports suggest he may leave the club in the summer if an agreement isn't reached soon.

As per The Athletic, Chelsea may demand £70 million for him, even though he is entering the final year of his contract.

In the video below the tactical experts over at Tifo Football take a look at why Mount has been such a mainstay of the Chelsea teams over the past few seasons.

Liverpool have had serious conversations about the player and if he leaves the club the Reds are in pole position to sign him.

3 ways Liverpool can line up with Mason Mount

 expires in 2024 and the negotiations over a new one have reached a dead end.

Mount is one of the most exciting talents in the country, he's versatile and has experience playing at the highest level. Signing him would be a coup for Liverpool — and here is how the Reds could use him.

Liverpool normally use the 4-3-3 formation but the midfield needs a revamp. Mount has previously played in central midfield and he could be used there at Anfield.

Mount's versatility means he can play literally everywhere in attack. At Chelsea, he's been used as both left and right forward. Given the abundance of left wingers in Liverpool's squad, here's how the Reds could line up with Mount on the right (with 

This is not his best position though. Mount is primarily an attacking midfielder that dictates tempo by moving the ball forward with his passes or carries. 

He also scores and assists a lot (13+16 G/A last season) but he does so when played centrally. He is also right-footed so pushing him far right would limit him in terms of shooting.

Ideally, if he is to play as a right winger then it’s only as a cover.

 role, dropping deep and linking up midfield and attack.

With Bobby leaving in the summer, Mount could replace him in this position.

Thank You sir.  That confirms what I've always been trying to say.

You are correct in everything you say, but to pay 80M for a 28yr old (Palhinha) would be financial lunacy IMO. We'd get, maybe, 4 yrs out of him after which he'd walk on a free. 
Every day I see fans on here wanting him signed but Spending 120M over 4 yrs on one player, sorry I don't see the sense.

I hadn't realised that was the asking price. begs the question how did we miss out on a player like that in the first place. we used to say,' just sign the Southampton recruitment team maybe now it could be  Brighton's or even Fulham's?

I remember a few yrs before Leicester won the EPL they had a guy name of Walsh who was responsible for recruiting 10 of the full starting 11 players.He had a brother, Micky Walsh played for Rep of Ireland a few times.. I think Casper was the only one he wasn't responsible for signing. A year or so after they won the league he was head hunted by Everton. Look where they are now. It's funny how things pan out. No recruitment team get's it right all of the time.

I remember Micky Walsh , played for Blackpool - won goal of the season?

what we are crying out for is what my dad used to call a half back, an all round midfield player who can take the ball from defenders, set up play either by carrying the ball or linking things together and also weigh in with a goal or two. Graeme souness comes to mind ( and Stevie of course). many of the modern players such as mount can do bits of this very well but are not good all rounders. the player I have seen doing this is palhinha of Fulham and £££££ Bellingham.bajetic is very promising in terms of all round midfield play.

With Mount i think that's just a wrong approach. It's not about what he can do or not, it's about how consistently he can dobthe things he does. He's a world class player at his best but the problem is that he dissapear too often.
Weird this isn't talked about

Christian.

Don't get me wrong, I think Mason is a great player and if we utilise him correctly, I have no doubt that Jurgen could change him into an outstanding player. But £70 million for someone who barely makes the starting 11 seems pretty steep and realistically, is he somebody that will evolve our midfield and take it to the next level? I'm really not sure but I'd rather throw £70 million at Mac Allister of Brighton to be fair. But we'll see, the Midfield Saga will be continuing for a while yet!! YNWA
