Jurgen Klopp is keen to bring Jude Bellingham to Liverpool. Should a BVB departure be in the house, the Reds would be the biggest prospect.
Jude Bellingham will probably leave Borussia Dortmund sooner or later. If the worst comes to the worst, Liverpool FC is already preparing.
Jurgen Klopp is considered a great admirer of Jude Bellingham. He is certainly not alone in the football world and certainly not at the top of Europe. But he seems to think so highly of the midfield youngster that he’s already pawing at Liverpool as we head towards the next summer transfer window.
According to reports, he would have liked to lure him out of Dortmund in the past few months. “He wasn’t on the market, that’s the first problem,” he explained why the LFC hadn’t dared to try. This statement alone shows that if there had been a theoretical chance, the Reds would have thrown a lot into the balance.
Klopp wants Bellingham badly: Liverpool as a bigger prospect
The situation could be different next summer. Then Bellingham would have spent three seasons at BVB and further cemented his status as an upcoming world-class midfielder.
It would be a possible time for him to take the next step. Even if his contract runs until 2025 and he undoubtedly feels comfortable with black and yellow.
Now the British are doing it again Telegraph clear: If there is even the slightest chance of signing the 19-year-old, Liverpool will definitely try.
The newspaper also assumes that the Klopp club would be by far the most interested party. And that despite the fact that there should be no doubt at the other top clubs what Bellingham would bring with them.
Sources at Liverpool are said to have already revealed: Should it be conceivable for the 15-time England international to take the next step – then Klopp will knock. And certainly not too hesitant.
However, two factors also play a role in a potential Bellingham transfer: Is there an exit clause in his BVB contract, or can the Bundesliga club continue to be persistent when it comes to inquiries? Currently, one can assume that the latter is the case. And: How is he doing at the World Cup in Qatar? If – as expected – he performs well, then the huge talent will only become more valuable and expensive.
