Ahead of Arsenal clash, Klopp receives best news of the year

Jude Bellingham will play for Liverpool next season and the player has decided to return to the Premier League at the end of the season. Despite growing interest from Real Madrid, the player has never considered a move to Spain and is clear that Anfield is the best place for him to continue his career. With a contract running until June 2025, the German club are unsuccessfully trying to renew him in order to stipulate a €150m exit clause.

However, the player has so far rejected all German approaches and Dortmund know they are obliged to negotiate a transfer given the pressure he is receiving from the player's entourage. With the agreement with the England international practically closed now from Liverpool they will have to finalise a transfer with Dortmund who in principle given their good relations with Real Madrid preferred to close the operation with the white team.

Liverpool have already had several contacts with Borussia, who are currently pricing the departure of their player at a minimum of €100m. Chelsea are clear that they need to strengthen all areas of their squad to get back to the top and for this reason, Todd Boehly is preparing a big investment to make the team champions again. The midfield is in the hands of Jude Bellingham, a player who has been making a name for himself at Borussia Dortmund and is wanted by Real Madrid. The 19-year-old England international could return to his homeland to lead the Blues' revival.

Having come through the ranks at Birmingham, it is true that his priority was to return home, but he is hesitant to reject the proposal from Real Madrid, who want him as a replacement for Modric. Dortmund are clear that this bid is in their interest and they expect to earn at least €120m for the sale of the player, a figure that could rise to €150m. Bellingham is considered one of the best in his position and is a signing for a decade, so Chelsea do not want to let him go under any circumstances.

<strong>Liverpool are already thinking about an alternative</strong>

According to local media reports, Liverpool are considering the alternative of Matheus Nunes in case the option of Jude Bellingham does not materialise. The England international is one of the big attractions of the upcoming summer transfer window, but the Reds will have to fight with teams like Manchester City, United, Real Madrid or Chelsea. This would complicate the operation significantly and whoever wants to take the cat out of the water will have to pay the €100m demanded in Dortmund.
