Will Liverpool FC finally get the long-awaited reinforcement for the midfield? A Chelsea star has now apparently stepped into the spotlight following the Nunes rumours.
Will Liverpool FC finally get the long-awaited reinforcement for the midfield? after the Nunes rumours a Chelsea star has now apparently moved into the limelight: Mason Mount could move to Anfield as early as January.
It is the Construction site in Jürgen Klopp’s team: This season, the midfield trio around Jordan Henderson, Thiago and Fabinho can no longer reproduce the performance from the previous season. Jude Bellingham is likely to be the number one transfer target, but he will definitely not come this winter. Therefore, the Reds must now look for alternatives.
The Guardians now reports interest in Mason Mount from Chelsea. The Englishman still has a contract until 2024 and the club would like to extend it, but the negotiations are said to have stalled. Reason: Mount’s salary requirements are said not to have been met.
More offensive: system conversion through mount?
At first glance, Mason Mount would not be a one-to-one replacement for a player from Liverpool’s three-man midfield. The 24-year-old is more offensive than Henderson or Thiago and is at home in tenth position. Either the transfer would result in a small system change, with a more offensive eight, or the Englishman would have to get used to a more defensive position in the future. It is very unlikely that Mount will find himself in Liverpool’s storm given the great competition.
In addition to the LFC, Juventus should also be interested. Both interested parties threaten to miss out on participating in international business, which are certainly not good arguments for a transfer.
