Borussia Dortmund’s Jude Bellingham’s career is one of the most intriguing in the sport right now.
The 19-year-old is already a star and is performing with a maturity far beyond his years, which has caught the attention of almost every elite club in world football.
One of those constantly linked with the England international is Liverpool, with many outlets reporting that the youngster is the midfield star Jurgen Klopp is looking for.
According to Sport Bild, the Reds manager has agreed with the Liverpool hierarchy to bet on Bellingham next summer, but Liverpool insider Neil Jones claims it will all come down to finances and competition.

Speaking about Bellingham on Redmen TV, Jones stated: “It is no secret that Liverpool want Bellingham and would like to sign him. The issue has always been finances and competition.”
This is bad news for Liverpool fans as many Reds know that the Merseyside club cannot compete with other clubs like Man City and PSG when it comes to massive financial numbers.
Dortmund are asking for £129m for clubs to acquire their services, Bild reports, and that, combined with hefty salaries, is likely to put Liverpool out of the running once City and other elite clubs get involved.
