Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Liverpool are actively working on a deal for Jude Bellingham on the player’s side amid claims the Reds have taken the lead in the race to sign the Englishman.
Jurgen Klopp is said to be leading the charge after suffering the loss of Aurelien Tchouameni to Real Madrid, who is also a potential part that could snap up the Borussia Dortmund star in the summer window.
“It is true that Liverpool are absolutely pushing for Jude Bellingham with Jurgen Klopp, who are really trying hard to get Jude Bellingham at Liverpool after missing out on Aurelien Tchouameni last summer,” the Caught Offside columnist said in his YouTube channel.
“He was the main target. And Liverpool tried in June for Bellingham but it was impossible to reach an agreement with Dortmund.
“Now Liverpool are working on the Jude Bellingham deal on the player side hoping to work on the club side with Borussia Dortmund.”
With a move in the next window highly unlikely, the Merseysiders will of course be forced to buy elsewhere in the meantime if they wish to bolster the midfield department in the near future.

Knowing that both the coach and the players are desperate to have you on board has to be flattering, especially when you consider the state of the people involved.
