The 19-year-old midfielder, who has been under close scrutiny by Jürgen Klopp for several weeks now, has made his signing a priority for this summer's transfer window. New reports from Germany reveal that Bellingham has gone from 100 million to an exorbitant 150 million.

This new price tag on Jude greatly narrows the race to just three big clubs like Real Madrid, Manchester City and Liverpool who could pay Borussia Dortmund that huge amount. The Germans' asking price of 150 million would be a new record for the Bundesliga and for them, as the recent sale of Norwegian Erling Haaland to the Citizens, according to ESPN figures, was for 55 million.

The arrival of Jude Bellingham at Anfield would mark a renewal in the squad, which is slowly beginning to age with the likes of Thiago Alcantara, James Milner and Jordan Henderson. The change of ownership on Merseyside would bring with it a financial injection to the club that would help them to face the second round of the championship and achieve as many titles as possible, where they are still alive in all competitions.
