Liverpool 'DROP out of the race for long-term target Mason Mount due to Chelsea's bumper £80m asking price' - in boost to rivals Manchester United

Liverpool is no longer considering a move for Mason Mount during the summer's transfer window after being deterred by Chelsea's high asking price, according to reports.

The 24-year-old has long been one of the midfielders tracked by the Anfield club as they prepare for a wholesale revamp in the position.

Signing World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton for a mere £35million kicked off their summer spending, but Jurgen Klopp will look to lure additional recruits during the window.

Borussia Monchengladbach's Manu Kone and Khephren Thuram of Nice are two players that have been closely linked with the club in recent weeks.
