Liverpool monitoring Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham
There has been intense speculation surrounding the future of Jude Bellingham in the last period.
The latest reports in England suggest that Liverpool are monitoring Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham.
Borussia Dortmund spent 23 million euros to sign the England international from Birmingham City in the summer of 2020. The 18-year-old has four years left on his current contract which expires in 2025.
The midfielder banged in one goal and provided three assists in five matches for Dortmund this season across all fronts showcasing just how influential he has been in the final third.
The 18-year-old is considered to be one of the best midfielders in England. Bellingham has earned 8 senior caps for the England national team but is yet to open his goal-scoring account for his nation.
He is set to be a man in demand in the summer transfer window, with a host of clubs queuing up to pursue his signature.
Jürgen Klopp wants to sign a new midfielder and Bellingham is one of the names at the top of his wishlist.
The Reds have built a reputation for recruiting young talent from within UK, predominantly targeting those with sell-on value and immense potential. Klopp is a known admirer of the player and is reportedly keen on the idea of bringing him next summer.
There is no doubt that Bellingham will take Liverpool’s midfield to a different level.
According to the report, “Liverpool are watching Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham with the aim of bringing him back to England next year. The Daily Star says Liverpool are keen on signing Bellingham for a club-record fee of £80 million next summer. The 18-year-old has been a revelation since joining Borussia Dortmund from Birmingham City in 2020, when the German giants beat Manchester United to the teenager’s signature. Reds boss Jurgen Klopp wants to strengthen his midfield in 2022 with a statement signing and views Bellingham as the ideal candidate. They are yet to replace Georginio Wijnaldum following his departure to Paris Saint-Germain this summer, and their sole signing came in the form of French defender Ibrahima Konate.”
