Frenkie de Jong named as potential Jude Bellingham alternative in new Liverpool link

Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong is being eyed as an alternative to Jude Bellingham by Jurgen Klopp this summer, according to a report.

The Liverpool manager is expected to overhaul his current options in the engine room this summer with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita both set to leave upon the expiration of their contracts, while James Milner's future remains very much up in the air after eight trophy-laden years on Merseyside.

The Borussia Dortmund and England superstar, Bellingham, is unlikely to be making the move to the Reds this summer, however, with Anfield officials deciding to pause their interest in the 19-year-old in favour of adding a string of high-quality additions to Klopp's ranks as Liverpool look set to finish outside of the Champions League places for the first time since 2016.
