Liverpool told they won't have to pay £130m Borussia Dortmund asking price for Jude Bellingham

Jude Bellingham will be one of the most expensive transfers in European football if he moves on - but the fee won't be what Borussia Dortmund are reportedly asking for, claims a Liverpool legend.

The Reds are expected to make a bid for the 19-year-old England international next summer as Jurgen Klopp looks to reinvent his aging midfield. And with his side struggling with injuries at the start of the season, rumours regarding a move for Bellingham have only intensified.

The midfielder won't come cheap. Under contract with Dortmund until 2025, reports have suggested the Bundesliga outfit will command an eye-watering £130m to part company with their star player. However, former Kop idol John Barnes believes although Bellingham's fee would be a hefty one, it won't be anything like the figure currently being suggested.
