Fabrizio Romano has suggested that Declan Rice could be a potentially ideal option for Liverpool.
The West Ham United man has been heavily linked with a move to one of the Premier League’s elite clubs, having reportedly missed out on a move in the summer due to his high asking price (as attested by Football Insider).
“I think he could bring some energy to Liverpool’s midfield, so he will certainly fit in perfectly. However, Jude Bellingham will be the priority for many clubs,” the respected journalist told CaughtOffside via his Substack column.
Even assuming that, with his contract due to expire in less than two years, the Reds’ recruiting team could negotiate the price below £100m, it would leave little leeway financially to snap up their supposed top man. target on Jude Bellingham. .

It’s far from a confirmation that we’re even vaguely interested in the England international, let alone that we have a chance of signing him, although it’s certainly an interesting suggestion from the reporter.
While we in no way wish to disparage Rice, there is no doubt that we are comparatively more interested in the Borussia Dortmund star prodigy who already seems something close (if not already similar) to a generational talent.
Still, it’s not a poor potential avenue to explore should a move for Bellingham prove impossible and we’ll be keeping an eye on the Hammers star for further updates.
