Jude Bellingham seems to be the name on the lips of almost every Liverpool fan when asked who we should sign in the summer and now it also looks like there has been an increase in our chances of landing the teenager.
As reported by Christian Falk for CaughtOffside: “There are a lot of names on Liverpool’s shortlist for midfield. I think for now it’s still good news that Daichi Kamada has been involved in negotiations with Dortmund, which means the club is preparing for the possibility of Jude Bellingham leaving in the summer.
“Of course, he is also a possible replacement for Mahmoud Dahoud, who will leave Dortmund this summer.

“Kamada would be an option for the starting eleven. Obviously, he is not an identical option to Bellingham, but the club has an eye on the player as a possible replacement.”
Daichi Kamada is a name that has already been linked with a move from Anfield this summer, despite the many reports (including the one above) linking the Japan international with a move to Borussia Dortmund.
However, if the links to the Bundesliga club are correct, this appears to be helping pave the way for the former Birmingham City midfielder to move to Anfield as the German side already try to replace him.
There is a long way to go in these negotiations and we are all fully aware that there are likely to be twists and turns before any paperwork is signed or, perhaps most importantly, money exchanges hands.
What we can take away from this is that this is even more good news, something we are becoming more and more used to when it comes to the 19-year-old England international.
The more we see Jurgen Klopp’s former club preparing for life after their star, the more likely this is a summer move and hopefully we can stay in front until then.
