Liverpool are expected to face stiff competition for the signing of Jude Bellingham next summer, needless to say.
Manchester United are said to be interested in the Englishman (who isn’t?) along with Jurgen Klopp’s men and thankfully never came close to bringing the midfielder to Old Trafford before his eventual move to Borussia Dortmund, reports Fabrizio Romano. .
“Honestly, it was never close between Man United and Bellingham in the past,” the Italian told Caught Offside. “They were interested along with many other clubs, including Premier League teams and Juventus, but he just wanted Borussia Dortmund as the perfect step for his future – a very smart move in my opinion.”
It’s fair to say that the move has worked wonderfully for his development, giving the former Birmingham City prospect a ton of experience in a top team domestically and internationally.

With Erik ten Hag now taking the reins, one can only begin to imagine how beneficial a talent like Bellingham would be in helping restore the Red Devils to their former glories.
It’s a nightmare scenario that’s not really worth thinking about for Liverpool fans and one that thankfully never came to fruition.
Hopefully, in the next summer window, we can make one about our arch-rivals and Real Madrid by signing the 19-year-old talent who would undoubtedly instantly improve our midfield department.
