‘Huge’ update on Liverpool’s probable signing of Bellingham following discussions emerge
Liverpool believe they will be unable to sign Jude Bellingham if he excels at the World Cup, according to Football Insider sources.
The Merseysiders have expressed interest in the 19-year-old midfield sensation and held preliminary negotiations with intermediaries regarding a potential transfer.
Borussia Dortmund will be able to demand a “large amount” if they chose to sell Bellingham next year, according to a source in the know, because to the increasing interest of the world’s top teams in him and his remarkable performance.
Liverpool is concerned that the German club’s value of Bellingham will exceed £100 million if he does not sign a contract extension.
The current contract of the England star continues through the summer of 2025.
Bellingham is becoming one of the most sought-after players in the world of football, and he has increased his reputation for both club and nation throughout the current season.
There is a flood of clubs interested in the 19-year-old midfielder, led by Liverpool and including Premier League rivals Manchester City, Chelsea, and Manchester United, as well as the top European clubs.
The Liverpool recruitment team has identified Bellingham as the dynamic central midfielder capable of leading the squad to the next level.
Liverpool are convinced they have created the groundwork for a prospective deal with the player’s camp for next year after holding extensive discussions behind the scenes.
The Merseysiders acknowledge, however, that Bellingham’s quality and excellent form further complicate an already highly complicated trade.
Bellingham had an exceptional 2021-22 season, scoring six goals and dishing out fourteen assists in 44 games across all competitions.
This form has continued over into the next season, albeit in a more advanced capacity.
Eight goals and two assists have been scored by the Englishman in 18 outings across all competitions this season.
