The player who earns less than Naby Keita and wants to sign for Liverpool now

Free agent in 2024, Chelsea will make a radical decision this summer. If Mason Mount is not open to a renewal, the Blue youth player will be transferred to the group of transferable players. A situation that has not gone unnoticed at Liverpool.
Forced to pull out an epic to be in the next round of the Champions League, Liverpool will have to turn the tie around after a disastrous first leg (2-5) against Real Madrid. The Reds have had a difficult season, both in Europe and in domestic competitions, and are six points off fourth place.

After the departure of Sadio Mané in the summer, Liverpool sought to revitalise their attacking options with the arrivals of Darwin Núñez in the summer transfer window and Cody Gakpo in January. Moreover, according to reports in the English press, Roberto Firmino will leave Anfield at the end of the season. In midfield, the main target is still Jude Bellingham, but Liverpool are keeping an eye on the various opportunities on the market.

The opportunity to sign Mason Mount has come to the fore. According to the Daily Mail, the Chelsea youth player is an option for Liverpool. The 24-year-old England international is one of Chelsea's star players. But all the signings of the Blue side put Mount, a free agent in 2024, in a compromising situation.

<strong>Mount has a lower salary than Naby Keita</strong>

In that sense, in the event that the attacking midfielder does not want to extend his stay at Stamford Bridge, the London side will put him on the exit ramp. A situation that Liverpool view with suspicion, aware that this is a great opportunity to strengthen the squad in the medium and long term. Given Mount's desire to sign for Liverpool, it is worth noting that his salary would be less than what Naby Keita currently earns, as Mount now earns 5 million and the African earns 6 million despite not playing.
