Manchester City are said to be leading the race to sign Jude Bellingham, according to reports, after Liverpool cooled their interest.
The Reds had earmarked the Borussia Dortmund midfielder as their primary target for the summer ahead of a busy period for Jurgen Klopp's side. However, earlier this week the six-time Champions League winners stepped away from the pursuit of the in-demand 19-year-old as their midfield upheaval became apparent.
Liverpool were frequently in the conversation surrounding the former Birmingham City youngster and it was largely believed that he was destined to be at Anfield for the start of the 2023-24 season. But now it looks unlikely as the plan sees Klopp targeting several midfielders.
