Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp once promised that the day that he signed a £100million player would be the day that he no longer had a job.
But that is exactly what the Reds will have to do if they are to purchase Jude Bellingham, who is a top target at the club. Borussia Dortmund have no intention of selling the England international this summer but could be prepared to listen to offers next year.
There is plenty of interest in the 19-year-old, including from Manchester United, Chelsea and Real Madrid. But Liverpool are believed to be ahead in the queue as they look to spruce up their midfield options.
