Liverpool are interested in Mason Mount and the Chelsea playmaker has signed up with the same agent as Virgil van Dijk.
The Reds are looking for midfield additions this summer and Jude Bellingham has been the main name in the frame.
Yet with the Borussia Dortmund ace expected cost huge money, Liverpool may also need to have other targets in mind.
A popular name of late has been one of Bellingham’s England international teammates Mason Mount.
90Min claim that Liverpool believe Mount would prefer a move to Anfield over the likes of Newcastle United, Manchester City and Manchester United.
Mount is now into the final 18 months of his Chelsea contract and a sale could take place this summer if he doesn’t commit to the Blues.
Liverpool seem ready to make a move and Mount has now made an interesting move.
Mason Mount signs with same agent as Virgil van Dijk
Fabrizio Romano reported earlier this week that Mount’s agent and father Tony Mount has partnered up with Neil Fewings from the ROOF agency to sort out the Chelsea star’s future.
Fewings has already been prominent when it comes to Liverpool and their players.
The Athletic reported in February that Fewings had joined the ROOF group after spending time with Wasserman.
That means Fewings is a representative for current Liverpool players Virgil van Dijk, Harvey Elliott and Naby Keita.
Fewings has been representing Van Dijk for years now and Liverpool are no strangers to him.
That may just give Liverpool a boost when it comes to targeting Mount.
Those agent links can be vital in transfers and we have seen Jorge Mendes and Kia Joorabchian send multiple players to one club if they have a strong bond.
Liverpool have a connection to Fewings and that could help negotiations should the Reds make their move.
It may only be a small thing, but with other clubs interested in Mount, it’s something Liverpool may be able to lean on.
