If Liverpool do go after Jude Bellingham next summer, it won't be the first time they've made a play at the teenager.
The midfielder was hot property back in the summer of 2020 having enjoyed a stellar year at Birmingham City, where he made his debut as a 16-year-old. Borussia Dortmund won the race for his signature then, fending off plenty of Premier League competition, and have since seen their rising star flourish.
Bellingham is one of the Bundesliga's prized assets and has proved himself to be among the best players on the pitch during Champions League outings, twice scoring against Manchester City. Dortmund's battle in the months to come will be keeping hold of a player, knowing they will be outgunned financially.
