Liverpool’s interest in Jude Bellingham is well-documented and with the Reds putting plans to sign a new midfielder on hold until 2023, it’s easy to assume that such a stance is with the England international in mind. After all, Borussia Dortmund have no intention of selling the 19-year-old until next summer.
Yet signing the midfielder would admittedly be easier said than done, with the majority of elite clubs across Europe interested in his signature. If the youngster proves to be Jurgen Klopp’s desired target, Liverpool won’t baulk at his reported £103m asking price.
After all, while the Reds have eight senior options at Jurgen Klopp ’s disposal, a dwindling number of homegrown talent alongside ageing stars and expiring contracts makes the prospect of Bellingham moving to Anfield even more attractive. Meanwhile, reports suggest the midfielder would be more than interested in a move to Merseyside too.
