Robbie Fowler admits he is unsure whether Liverpool can compete with Europe's richest clubs when it comes to signing Jude Bellingham.
Jurgen Klopp's side had been linked with a move for the 19-year-old midfielder throughout the summer, but Borussia Dortmund's £100million price-tag and unwillingness to negotiate - understandably, given Bellingham's contract runs until 2025 - kept any potential suitors at bay. The teenage sensation is likely to play a pivotal role in any English success at the World Cup later this year, as well as enjoying another season of development in the Bundesliga with Dortmund.
Bellingham's likely progress throughout this season somewhat justifies Dortmund's reported £130million valuation, but while the major spending powers in European football may happily enter a bidding war for the midfielder, ex-Liverpool striker Fowler has questioned whether his old club will be willing to do the same.
