Jude Bellingham case, Liverpool in the running to sign him

Jude Bellingham has been one of the most talked-about names of the World Cup so far. His role in the England team has been fundamental from minute one and the European giants have been able to see his potential with their own eyes and on a gigantic stage such as the World Cup.

The player has been linked with Real Madrid for some time now as, despite the quality of players like Modric and Kroos, it is beginning to be time to look for a guaranteed replacement for them, and Bellingham is it. Although the bidding for the player promises to be entertaining. According to Bild, the young English star is closing in on a move to Klopp's Liverpool.

New rival Liverpool must beat to sign Jude Bellingham

The player's representatives have already told Real Madrid that talks with the Reds are at an advanced stage. At Liverpool, they know that it is time to renew the midfield and the first piece must be the Borussia Dormtund player. Bellingham's entourage knows that Liverpool is the perfect destination for him to make the step up to the elite of football. The only drawback is the high price that the German club is asking for him: 150 million.

The English club are not willing to pay that price, but around 100. In this current market, where such exorbitant amounts are paid, it does not seem at all crazy to pay more than 100 million for a player who, by conditions, can mark an epoch. For their part, Manchester City and PSG, among others, are still on the lookout.

Liverpool are the frontrunners to sign Bellingham

If up until now the battle was between Los Blancos and Liverpool, not forgetting Chelsea and United, it is now Manchester City who have entered the fray in an attempt to win the race for his signature. According to Football Insider, Guardiola's side are ready to get rid of Jack Grealish to make room for the young British midfielder. The gamble is no small one as they paid Aston Villa 116.5 million euros in the summer of 2021 to secure the services of the player, making him the most expensive Englishman in history.
