Liverpool are reportedly increasingly confident that they can secure the signing of Jude Bellingham and beat the likes of Manchester City, Manchester United and Real Madrid.
Jurgen Klopp has made the 19-year-old his number one transfer target and despite Borussia Dortmund valuing the talented midfielder at £100m, the German tactician is pushing for the Reds’ board to provide the funds for the movement, according to the Mirror. (via Caught Offside).
The report also suggests that the former Birmingham City man’s burgeoning relationship with Jordan Henderson could be a major factor in any potential move to the FA Cup champions, but any transfer would happen at the end of the season and not next month.

Strengthening our midfield is somewhat imperative when you consider the fact that many of our current options are now on the wrong side of the 30s and players like James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita are out of contract at the end of the season.
Moroccan Sofyan Amrabat is also being linked with a move to Merseyside, but Klopp and many Reds supporters want Bellingham.
Despite his tender age, he is already displaying the leadership qualities of a seasoned professional and has a very bright future ahead of him.
It would be great to see him continue his development at Anfield and he would have every chance of reaching his full potential under the watchful eye of our German tactician.
