    <p>Liverpool are seeking alternative options in their midfield rebuild after missing out on Mason Mount, who looks set to join Manchester United. </p>

    <p>Manager Jurgen Klopp has turned his attention to James Ward-Prowse as a potential target for the team.</p>

    <p>Mount had been linked with a move to Liverpool as his future at Chelsea became uncertain. However, Klopp has had to shift his focus to other options, with Ward-Prowse now at the top of his wishlist.</p>

    <p>According to the Daily Mail, Ward-Prowse is likely to leave Southampton following their relegation from the Premier League. </p>

    <p>The Saints have set a price tag of £50 million for their captain, but Liverpool are willing to be patient and wait for a potential reduction in the asking price.</p>

    <p>There is a belief that Southampton may lower their demands as the transfer window progresses, considering the need to raise funds for their own squad rebuilding in order to challenge for promotion. </p>

    <p>Liverpool are reportedly prepared to spend around £25 million on Ward-Prowse.</p>

    <p>The midfielder is also seeking a fresh challenge as he aims to regain his place in the England national team. </p>

    <p>Ward-Prowse's contract does not contain a relegation clause, and he still has three years remaining on his current deal. </p>

    <p>Southampton rejected a £25 million bid from Aston Villa for their captain last summer, indicating their confidence in securing a significant transfer fee.</p>
