Chelsea's move for Enzo Fernandez appears likely to have knock-on implications for Liverpool's own deal for Jude Bellingham.
Bellingham is expected to be the Reds' top target in the summer transfer window as Jurgen Klopp looks to boost his options in midfield. But the England international will not come cheap, with no release clause in his contract at Borussia Dortmund.
That means the Bundesliga club can virtually name their price when it comes to the bidding war for their star man. Liverpool are expected to be one of the frontrunners in that race, with Real Madrid and Manchester City also thought to be weighing up moves.
