Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has told the club’s owners, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), to bid €150 million (£132 million) for Real Madrid and Manchester City target Jude Bellingham, according to journalist Tomas Gonzalez-Martin in El Debate.
The report has claimed that Manchester City are ready to offer €135 million (£119 million) for Bellingham, who starred for England at the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
Last season’s La Liga and UEFA Champions League winners Real Madrid are not willing to go beyond €100 million (£88 million) up front plus €20 million (£17.5 million) in bonuses.
Could Liverpool sign Real Madrid target Jude Bellingham?
In our opinion, Liverpool could be able to sign Jude Bellingham ahead of Real Madrid and Manchester City in the summer of 2023.
However, for that to happen, the former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners need to meet Dortmund’s demands and outbid Madrid and City.
After all, Dortmund will sell the teenager – described as “astonishing” by Everton and England international goalkeeper Jordan Pickford on Hayters TV in November – to the highest bidder.
We do not think that Bellingham would be averse to moving to Liverpool.
Yes, City and Madrid are massive clubs, but so are Liverpool, who regularly challenge for the Premier League title and compete in the UEFA Champions League.
