Liverpool are expected to make Jude Bellingham a transfer priority come the next summer window.
However, there is already a clear understanding that the England international will not come cheap to any team willing to throw their hat in the ring.
A fee worth more than £87.4m is considered more than likely for a talent that borders the generational pool of players that grace world football, according to a tweet from Bruno Andrade.
Jude Bellingham is also highly valued by Liverpool. But there is a “small” obstacle: valued by Dortmund at more than 100 million euros https://t.co/9z8VFPUM9c
