Jürgen Klopp has reacted to reports that Liverpool have ended their pursuit of Jude Bellingham by insisting the club must live within their means. “You wouldn’t ask a five-year-old what they want at Christmas and if they say ‘a Ferrari’, you would not say: ‘Oh, that is a good idea,’” the German said somewhat defiantly.
Liverpool have long been linked with a summer move for Bellingham but, on Tuesday, it emerged that the club are no longer in the race for the midfielder. It has been decided they cannot justify the fee it would require to sign him from Borussia Dortmund given Klopp’s need to overhaul his squad following a disappointing campaign.
