Mason Mount’s “preferred option” was Liverpool, according to LondonsFirst, before Manchester United sealed a deal with Chelsea for the midfielder during the summer transfer window.
“Liverpool was Mount’s preferred option, and Fewings was known to have good connections inside Liverpool,” the report adds.
“However, it is understood that Manchester United offered the best financial package, and it is possible that Liverpool also had difficulties in negotiations with Mount’s side, but this is just a theory.”
According to Sky Sports, United would pay Premier League opponent Chelsea an initial fee of £55 million for Mount’s services.
