Liverpool to lead Bellingham race next summer

Liverpool are set to lead the race to sign Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham at the end of the current season, according to The Telegraph.

Much has been said about the Merseysiders needing a new midfielder this summer, but the club insisted otherwise until a serious injury crisis hit them at the start of the season. The situation forced their hand and they agreed a loan deal for Arthur Melo from Juventus, but with the future of James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain beyond 2022/23 increasingly uncertain , the club are expected to invest heavily in their midfield ranks. soon.

Bellingham is much admired at Anfield, as well as elsewhere. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp recently said the only problem with signing the 19-year-old this year was the fact that he was not in the market.

However, Liverpool will certainly not be the only club to want to move him away from Signal Iduna Park when the time comes. Both Manchester clubs have been mentioned in this regard, as has Real Madrid.
