Liverpool have been told they will not be given any "gifts" by Borussia Dortmund in their pursuit of Jude Bellingham.
Bellingham has long been a preferred target for the Reds as they look to reshape their midfield, although they face strong competition for the 19-year-old's signature with Real Madrid, Manchester City and Chelsea also interested.
Dortmund have a strong relationship with Liverpool partly due to their former boss Jurgen Klopp having been in charge at Anfield since October 2015, which has been acknowledged by their managing director Carsten Cramer.
