Liverpool looks to be working on a creative deal to bring Jude Bellingham to Liverpool. The move could be made as early as this coming January after the World Cup.
Liverpool’s midfield is ageing. And it is no secret that they will be looking to add top-quality talent to their midfield. Naby Keita’s situation seems mixed. There are rumours that he will end up signing an extension, while a few say he might be used in a swap deal if the opportunity presents itself.
Liverpool has been a long-term admirer of English star Jude Bellingham. He has developed into a great talent and a regular starter for Dortmund. With the way his career has taken off, he is a target for most top clubs in Europe.
Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Liverpool have all shown interest in the Bellingham.
Based on a story in Germany’s Bild, Dortmund is keen to take a punt on Liverpool’s midfielder Naby Keita. They are said to be monitoring his contract situation very closely. The 27-year-old Guinea international moved to Liverpool from RB Leipzig in 2018. He is going to be out of a contract next June. Given his injury situation, Liverpool might be looking to offload him as soon as possible rather than lose him for free next summer.
The Athletic had recently reported that Dortmund had put a price tag on Jude Bellingham of close to £131 million. This is certainly a high price, but the hope is that Klopp’s relationship with the Dortmund hierarchy can help smooth the transfer details out and help him get his target.
What a great deal this could be for Liverpool, where an injury-prone player is replaced by one of the biggest prospects in world football.
