Bellingham Is Still The Primary Aim For Liverpool.

Despite acting swiftly on Monday to sabotage Manchester United’s agreement for forward Cody Gakpo, Jude Bellingham continues to be Liverpool’s top transfer target.

Borussia Dortmund of the Bundesliga is anticipated to lose Bellingham in the summer, as a number of teams are interested in signing the English midfielder.

The 19-year-contract old’s at Dortmund is said to feature an unverified £60 million release clause, so he may leave Germany for a move that pays less. A cost-effective contract for one of football’s most promising young players.

A fee like that may force Bellingham to choose his future from among a plethora of suitors, with Chelsea, Real Madrid, and Manchester City all vying for his services.

If his contractual release provision is honored, Bellingham will be free to choose his own career, with Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool now on his mind.

While abroad on international duty, the England star forged close bonds with Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson and full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, and the pair were often seen together while in Qatar for the World Cup.
