Liverpool's negotiation for Bellingham takes unexpected turn, Klopp smiles

In the case of Jude Bellingham, each new England game at the World Cup in Qatar could be a step forward for Liverpool's aspirations or, conversely, a nod to those of Real Madrid. Both the English and Spanish sides are still in his wake, each with their own strategies in place, and it can be said that, while they are not the only ones interested in the Borussia Dortmund youngster, they do represent the two ways of going about it - and only one will win the day.

According to 90 min, there are two very different teams in the fight for the English midfielder and these are the ones described in the first lines, only that some of them are betting on an open bid against other teams, among them several from the Premier League; while the others prefer -prior payment of a reasonable amount, high, yes, but reasonable- to convince the player with the project.

Liverpool are in the lead among the first option, Madrid among the second, and, in short, according to the aforementioned media, it is Jürgen Klopp's side who are ahead of the rest. Manchester City, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are also circling the player, who, although he prefers Anfield or the Santiago Bernabeu, does that make it impossible for him to go to the Etihad Stadium, Stamford Bridge or the Parc des Princes? No, but they are not his preferred destinations at the moment.

Liverpool have put the player on the rail because they have an attractive project at a club that excites the player and, moreover, the English club seems tempted to pay the 150 million that Dortmund are demanding. The other team, the second in favour at the moment, is Madrid.

<strong>Bellingham increased his price</strong>

Carlo Ancelotti wants to give the player the project, but will not go up to that figure, with sources close to the Spanish club claiming they would only go as high as 110 million.  So Bellingham is looking at his future from Qatar, he likes two proposals and must choose; but also Dortmund, who, logically, prefer the higher sum. The fight for the jewel continues.
