Liverpool are prepared to meet Chelsea star Mason Mount's wage demands.
The attacking midfielder is likely to leave Stamford Bridge in the summer.
Mount will only have one year remaining on his Chelsea deal when this summer window opens.
He is eyeing Liverpool as his next club, as manager Jurgen Klopp is a huge admirer.
If Mount does not renew with Chelsea, the Reds will make a bid.
They are prepared to pay the wages that Mount is seeking from Chelsea for his next long-term contract.
