The ridiculous amount Klopp wants to offer for Bellingham to arrive in January

The Round of 16 stage is very close to kick off, being the key moment for the teams looking to stop the streak of years of not winning the World Cup, as is the case of England that has been more than five decades without lifting the Cup. The English are relying heavily on their talent under the guidance of Gareth Southgate, coach who is in his second spell at the helm of the 'Three Lions'.

One of the most important players in the national team is undoubtedly Borussia Dortmund superstar Jude Bellingham, who at 19 years of age has amazed the football world with his talent, and is even considered one of the current icons of the Bundesliga. Jürgen Klopp wants Bellingham to be playing next January at Anfiled in front of more than 50,000 fans.

Jude has had a good World Cup so far where he has played in all three group games, clocking up more than 250 minutes for England. The 19-year-old midfielder has been on Klopp's radar for months, as he believes he would be an important element in the new squad renewal he has in sight, as Jordan Henderson and James Milner would be living out their final years with the Merseyside outfit.

According to the website Transfermarkt, the English midfielder is valued at 25.00 million euros, a figure that Dortmund would be putting up for their jewel. This amount could be negotiated, even placing players as bargaining chips in the transaction. Klopp would be signing a player who paradoxically despite being British, has never played in the Premier League.

Bellingham costs 25 million according to Transfermarkt

Bellingham came through the youth ranks at Birmingham City, where he left the Big Island prematurely to move to Germany, where he won his first international title, the DFB Pokal 20/21, with Jürgen Klopp's former club BVB. Jude is now concentrating with 'The Rose' national team for the Round of 16 against Senegal of former Red's star Sadio Mané next Sunday in Al Khor.
