Graeme Souness has said on ITV (6:30pm, December 5, 2022) that Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool will not be able to sign Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund under current owners FSG.
The Liverpool legend believes that Dortmund and England international midfielder Bellingham will be a star.
The ITV pundit has predicted that the 19-year-old, who is starring for England at the 2022 Qatar World Cup, will leave Dortmund next summer, but he does not think that Liverpool’s current owners, FSG, will be able to afford the youngster.
Liverpool are among the clubs strongly linked with Bellingham.
According to GiveMeSport, Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City and Real Madrid all are interested in signing Bellingham next summer.
Madrid, who won La Liga and the UEFA Champions League last season, are reportedly leading the race for the former Birmingham City youngster.
FSG are the current owners, but they have put the former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners up for sale.
There have reportedly been parties and investors interested in buying Liverpool, including a Saudi Arabia-Qatar consortium.
