According to The Times, Liverpool have cooled their pursuit of Borussia Dortmund starlet Jude Bellingham.
It is claimed that the Reds have decided that they need to bring in two midfielders during the summer transfer window, meaning a £100+ million move for Bellingham may not be the most sensible of moves.
