Liverpool have switched their attentions away from Jude Bellingham due to the size and scale of the rebuild needed at Anfield this summer.
The Reds have long been linked with a move for the England international, but with the 19-year-old expected to cost more than £100m, the club have decided that the time and money it would take to pull off his signing could better be spent elsewhere.
Bellingham remains a target for Manchester City and Real Madrid, and with the Reds currently lacking the resources to compete with those clubs they are well aware that a pursuit of Bellingham could end up being fruitless.
