After a strong season, Newcastle might participate in the Champions League the following year. The Magpies' chances of qualifying for Europe's premier championship will increase their appeal to the top player.

More high-calibre options are needed in the central midfield area. Mount has extensive knowledge of the Premier League. Newcastle intends to routinely compete for the championship and hardware. With their strong financial backing and a Champions League retun potntial on the cards for next season, Newcastle could present a very attracive offer for the Chelsea star.

2. Manchester United

Due to Erik ten Hag's rebuilding efforts, the club is once again a formidable force to contend with and presents a compelling opportunity for prospective players. Mount would undoubtedly improve the team's quality, and he might view United as being more capable of contending for championships.

1. Liverpool

Liverpool have been one of Mount's ardent supporters for a while, and the Reds have been constantly connected with a move for the 24-year-old. Though Mount has spent the majority of his time at Chelsea playing in the front three, he has also made appearances in centre midfield.

Liverpool will undoubtedly try to strengthen that position during the summer transfer window. But, their pursuit of Jude Bellingham would present a challenge because the Borussia Dortmund star would demand a big fee.
