Liverpool have identified Fulham star Joao Palhinha as a cheaper alternative for Jude Bellingham in the summer transfer market, it has been claimed.
Bellingham is Liverpool ’s number one transfer target ahead of what promises to be a crucial summer for the club. A rebuild is in order for Jurgen Klopp, whose side have endured a difficult campaign and are set to lose several midfielders at the end of June.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Naby Keita and James Milner are all poised to leave when their contracts expire, while Liverpool will not make Arthur Melo’s stay permanent. Midfielders are needed and Bellingham has been lined up as the priority for some time.
