Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool are leading Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City in the race for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham, according to ESPN.
The report has claimed that Liverpool are forging a close relationship with the camp of Bellingham, who is on the radar of Chelsea, Real Madrid, Manchester United and Manchester City as well.
The Reds are reportedly seen as favourites for the 19-year-old England international midfielder, who could cost €150 million (£130.64 million) in transfer fees next summer.
It was only this week when Bild in Germany reported that Chelsea have made contact with Dortmund over a move for the England international.
Jude Bellingham would be a coup for Liverpool
In our view, Jude Bellingham would be a brilliant signing for Liverpool in the summer of 2023 and would be a coup for the Reds.
Chelsea, Real Madrid, Manchester United and Manchester City are massive clubs, and beating competition from them to sign one of the best young talents in the world would be a massive statement from Liverpool.
Yes, of course, we know that Liverpool are a massive club and are a global brand, but they are not having the best of seasons in the Premier League and could miss out on a top-four finish.
