Liverpool make 'calls' over Jude Bellingham transfer as midfielder targeted by West Ham United

The new season is creeping ever closer with Liverpool taking Manchester City in the Community Shield in just nine days time. But, before that, the Reds face RB Leipzig in Germany tonight as they continue to their search for full match sharpness.

With three new additions to Jurgen Klopp 's squad, it is thought all business has been done, but the transfer market can be reactionary and if someone becomes available, Liverpool may strike.

Reds boss Klopp's hunt for a midfielder is reportedly on hold until the summer of 2023, but rumours suggest otherwise. Here are your latest transfer updates for Liverpool from around the web.

Who?

Jude Bellingham

Where?

Fabrizio Romano on his YouTube channel

What?

Transfer insider Romano has spoken of how Liverpool 'called' people close to Bellingham and Borussia Dortmund to enquire about making a move for the midfielder.

“It is true that Liverpool a few weeks ago called people close to Bellingham and Dortmund to enquire about the situation to understand if they had a chance to jump into it,” Romano said. “The answer was no, no way, the player is untouchable this summer.

“But Liverpool are thinking of Jude Bellingham alongside many top international clubs, because also Spanish and English clubs are interested.”

Who?

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

Where?

West Ham Central

What?

West Ham Central have claimed that the Hammers have made a 'soft' enquiry to Liverpool about the future of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

David Moyes' side are currently trying to secure the signing of Jesse Lingard, but Nottingham Forest are trying hard to sign the former Manchester United player, too.

And it is claimed Liverpool would want £10m for Oxlade-Chamberlain, who has one year remaining on his contract.

What?

Matheus Nunes

Where?

Record

What?

Liverpool have been told they will have to pay £42.7m to secure the signing of midfielder Nunes from Sporting Lisbon this summer.

The Reds are rumoured to be firm admirers of the Portugal international as the search for a midfielder carries on.
