Jude Bellingham has been one of the stars of the season. He is one of the key players for Borussia Dortmund and also for the English national team. His performances at the Qatar 2022 World Cup are dazzling the world. And that makes the British midfielder also one of the protagonists of the transfer market.

Bellingham, 19, is the object of desire of several European giants. His role at Borussia Dortmund and with England makes it clear that he is one of the midfielders who are set to make his mark on the next decade. And the big guns of the Old Continent do not want to miss the opportunity to add him to their ranks.

Several players have received positive remarks from Jurgen Klopp

But in the white house they do not see clear to pay for his signing what Borussia Dortmund are demanding. Because Florentino Pérez is not willing to pay more than what he spent on the purchase of Tchouaméni. That is to say, it will not go beyond 80 million fixed plus 20 million in variables. And the German club has set its starting price at 120 million, hoping to reach 150 million.

Figures that distance Real Madrid, but not other European giants. This is the case of Liverpool. Jürgen Klopp has given orders to those responsible for trying to close his signing. And according to the newspaper Bild, it is the British club that is in the lead in the operation. The player's representatives have already told Real Madrid that talks are underway. And not only that. They are moving at cruising speed.

Bellingham costs 150 million

However, Liverpool do not want to reach 150 million either. Although they will make an effort to exceed 100 million to close the deal. A figure that puts them ahead of Real Madrid in the race for Bellingham's services. Although it remains to be seen if it is enough considering that Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain are also after the midfielder. The good news for the Reds is that they have yet to make a move.
