Todd Boehly is not only focusing on Chelsea's transfer business, but must also be keeping an eye on the renewal of one of his club's biggest names, Mason Mount. The England midfielder is an indispensable part of the Blue's squad and his renewal should be a priority for the west London club's board.
The Chelsea youth product's contract expires in 2024 and his renewal is becoming increasingly urgent, as if an agreement is not reached, selling a player whose contract expires in a year's time will take a heavy toll on his value. In this sense, according to the English media The Guardian, Liverpool would have interfered in the negotiations between club and player to make it clear that in case he is available, they will make a move for him in the summer, which would be a very hard blow for Graham Potter's team.

Mount is clear that he is no longer that promising youngster who needs to prove his worth in the first team. With a Champions League title to his name and defined as one of the mainstays of his team, Mount wants a pay rise commensurate with his ascendancy within the squad, something that the aforementioned media claims that Chelsea is more than willing to do. They are not in the mood to lose one of their best players and even less to let him go to a rival club like Liverpool.
The Merseyside outfit are in the midst of a midfield overhaul, with the old guard of Henderson, Fabinho and Thiago no longer performing as well as they did in previous seasons and needing to improve their playmaking. That is why Mason Mount is the ideal profile for Klopp's team, who have seen in the Portsmouth player a great market opportunity in case he does not renew his contract with his team. So, it seems that Liverpool are going to complicate the negotiations between Mount and Chelsea. However, it seems very difficult for the Blue to leave the team of his life. He has declared on many occasions his love for the club he has defended since he was a child.
