Goal claim Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham would be ‘more than interested’ in signing for Liverpool this summer – but the England international could cost a whopping £100million to sign.
Bellingham, 18, is quickly establishing himself as one of the best teenage talents in world football, at this moment in time. Joining Dortmund from Birmingham City in 2020, he has already clocked up 89 Dortmund outings.

Last season, the 15-time England international enjoyed his best campaign yet – producing a huge 20 goal involvements from midfield. Bellingham found the back of the net six times, and laid on an impressive 14 assists in 43 games.
Liverpool have been regularly touted as a possible destination for Bellingham. Now, the midfielder – branded “phenomenal” by Danny Murphy – is said to be ‘more than interested’ in a £100million move to Anfield.
Bellingham ‘more than interested’ in signing for Liverpool
So, do Liverpool need to spend a club-record fee to sign Bellingham this summer? Well, the Reds do need a midfielder that can contribute to the attack. Naby Keita, Curtis Jones and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain struggled last term.
Keita and Oxlade-Chamberlain are set to enter the final 12 months of their Anfield contracts and could go this summer. There is talk that Keita could even be part of a swap deal to sign French midfielder Adrien Rabiot.
Liverpool would love Bellingham – but having already broken their record transfer fee by signing Darwin Nunez, is it realistic? Hardly, but Liverpool will know they need to keep up with Manchester City.
