Liverpool have been linked with a move for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham.
The Reds are believed to be interested in signing the England international but it will cost €150m according to an AS report and that could force Liverpool to drop the chase.
The report adds that Liverpool are now expected to turn their attention to Sofyan Amrabat and Enzo Fernandez as the pursuit of Bellingham is proving difficult.
Amrabat was exceptional for Morocco during the World Cup and was a key factor behind his country’s run to the semifinals of the tournament. The 26-year-old would add some much-needed defensive steel and work-rate to Jurgen Klopp’s midfield if the Reds can sign him.
On the other hand, Enzo Fernández was the best young player in the World Cup and has a great future ahead of him. The 21-year-old has the potential to become a complete midfielder and someone like Klopp to take advantage of his talents at Anfield.

The Benfica midfielder has a release clause of 120 million euros in his contract and it remains to be seen if the Portuguese team is willing to sell him for less than that.
Fernández is undoubtedly an elite talent, but Liverpool hope to sign him for a reasonable price in the next few windows.
Midfield has been a big concern for Klopp and signing a couple of quality central midfielders should be a priority for the Reds now. It will be interesting to see if they can finalize the Amrabat and Fernández deals in the coming months.
