Liverpool fans were left disappointed when the transfer window closed this summer. The Reds only made the one signing during the window despite Kopites feeling a midfielder and a striker were desperately needed. As a result fans are buzzing about reports that Liverpool want to sign Jude Bellingham in an £80m deal.
Rise and rise of Jude Bellingham
On the 6th of August 2019, Jude Bellingham became the youngest player in Birmingham City history when he started an EFL Cup first round tie against Portsmouth. He was just 16 years and 38 days old.
After that he became a regular feature for the Midlands side, standing out in one of the world’s toughest divisions whilst still at school.
Naturally Europe’s top clubs came knocking.
In the summer of 2020, Jude Bellingham signed for Borussia Dortmund in a deal worth around £25m.
Since then he’s become a first team regular in Germany and he’s established himself in the England set up.
Liverpool want Jude Bellingham
This summer the Reds lost Gini Wijnaldum on a free transfer.
The club decided against signing a replacement for the Dutchman despite him being one of the most dependable players in the league.
Consequently a number of fans believe the Reds will move for a midfielder next summer instead.
According to the Daily Star, Liverpool want to sign Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund.
The Reds will allegedly bid up to £80m for the wonderkid.
