Liverpool told of hidden factor that will come with buying Jude Bellingham

Bellingham has long been the subject of speculation surrounding his future at Borussia Dortmund with Liverpool among his potential suitors. It's understood that the 19-year-old, who is someone widely admired among the people who matter where recruitment is concerned at Anfield, is valued in excess of £100m.
Bellingham is considered one of the hottest prospects in football, having joined BVB from Birmingham City in the summer of 2020. He went on to enjoy a fine debut season at the Westfalenstadion, which he has continued to build on during his second and third campaigns at the club.
Manchester City have also been linked with a move for the midfielder, and their boss, Pep Guardiola, was full of praise for Bellingham after he scored in Dortmund’s 2-1 defeat at the Etihad Stadium a couple of weeks ago. And speaking ahead of that game, the player himself insisted he remains happy at Dortmund and played down the potential of a Premier League transfer.
Bellingham said: "First of all, I'm here to help Borussia Dortmund win the game. If I can play well and showcase my talents, it is a bonus.
