The reason why even Man City could struggle to sign Liverpool target Conor Gallagher

Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing Conor Gallagher but there's one significant hurdle they will have to overcome to convince the Chelsea midfielder to join this summer.

While he has managed 37 appearances in the current campaign, Gallagher has failed to make a major impact.

Like many of his teammates, he has struggled for form and consistency under successive managers this season.

Liverpool are expected to sign several midfielders after pulling out of the race for Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham.

Gallagher 'determined to remain in London'

Liverpool would appear to be an attractive move for Gallagher, with the midfielder likely to be handed a more prominent role at Anfield than Stamford Bridge.

But journalist Dean Jones claims Liverpool could struggle to convince the midfielder to move north.

"Sources are indicating that Gallagher is very determined to remain in London and it would take a big sell for any northern club to get him to move away from family comforts."

Gallagher is not the only Chelsea player Liverpool are interested in, with Klopp also keen to sign England international Mason Mount.

Mount is out of contract with Chelsea in 2024 and talks have stalled over an extension for the 24-year-old, with Liverpool ready to pounce if the Blues decide to sell him this summer.
