Jurgen Klopp is ‘pushing’ to complete a deal for Jude Bellingham, but Liverpool will have to pay more than the rumored €100m according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Borussia Dortmund teenager is one of Europe’s top prospects with his performances for both club and country resulting in the world’s biggest clubs pursuing his signature.
The Reds have reportedly made the 19-year-old their main transfer target and the Italian transfer specialist has now provided an update on the situation.
“Liverpool, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Chelsea. These are the clubs that are always mentioned in regards to Bellingham. Manchester United are also in the running, but it’s going to be more difficult for them. Nothing has changed yet, nothing will be decided now. Jurgen Klopp is pushing for the deal, but it is not decided, agreed or done yet. Once Borussia Dortmund communicate the price, we’ll see! It will be more than the rumored 100 million euros,” Romano told Caught Offside.

Rumors have suggested that the Bundesliga side value their star at £129m and while that’s a considerable amount of money, Bellingham seems to be the solution to many of our problems.
Klopp is desperate to sign an elite midfielder and when you consider that the former Birmingham City man could be a mainstay in the middle of the park for us for the next decade, it’s a deal that makes sense despite the steep price tag.
Versatility is also something that makes the Dortmund No. 22 an ideal fit for the FA Cup winners – he can play a deep defensive midfield role when needed, but also has the ability to move forward and make things happen in the top of the field. tone.
It remains to be seen what will happen on the Bellingham front, but Liverpool fans are certainly full of optimism at the moment.
