Jurgen Klopp may have dropped biggest Jude Bellingham hint yet as Liverpool transfer plan becomes clear
You’ll have had to have been living under a rock to avoid the speculation linking Liverpool with Jude Bellingham in recent months.
The Reds are known to be interested in the England international but, admittedly, they aren’t the only ones with a number of top European clubs also monitoring the midfielder’s situation. Yet, with Borussia Dortmund adamant that the 19-year-old won’t be sold this year, having already seen Erling Haaland depart for Man City in a £51m deal this summer, the teenager’s suitors have no choice but to play the waiting game.

The Spain international also had a long-running feud with Barcelona legend and fellow Spain international Gerard Pique, with the duo exchanging numerous bitter verbal blows over the years following the former Liverpool defender’s return to Real Madrid.
