Liverpool 'start talks' with Jude Bellingham and Enzo Fernandez amid transfer links

Liverpool have reportedly 'started talks' with Jude Bellingham and Enzo Fernandez this month over possible transfers in the summer.

The Reds have identified the Borussia Dortmund star as their number one summer target while Fernandez has also been linked with a move to Anfield as Jurgen Klopp looks to revolutionise his struggling midfield.

Klopp's side currently find themselves in ninth in the Premier League and are in desperate need of new midfielders with Naby Keita, James Milner and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all out of contract in the summer.

Foot Mercato have reported that the Liverpool boss has started discussions with both Bellingham and Fernandez as plans are being drawn up for the end of the season.

Bellingham is expected to leave Dortmund in the summer with Liverpool reported to be the current favourites for his signature, but he will cost in excess of £100 million.
