The Jude Bellingham transfer saga has taken another twist which could heavily impact the immediate decisions of Liverpool and Chelsea, with Real Madrid now leading the race for his signature. All three clubs have held a long-term interest in the talented teenager and Madrid look to be in pole position to add him to their stacked midfield.
Both Chelsea and Liverpool are in desperate need of a significant rebuild in the centre of the pitch with the Blues' Jorginho and N'golo Kante looking likely to depart Stamford Bridge in the summer upon the expiration of their contracts.
Liverpool, meanwhile, are in search of a fresh boost in their midfielder department with Jordan Henderson and Fabinho struggling to remain fit for long periods of time.
