Liverpool Newsnow: Liverpool has bid £84 million to acquire 19-year-old midfielder Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund
Liverpool Newsnow: Liverpool has long been interested in acquiring Jude Bellingham for the next season, as reported by Haydn Dodge of CaughtOffside. A reported £84 million bid has been made for the 19-year-old Borussia Dortmund star.
Key Points:
- Liverpool has bid £84 million for Jude Bellingham
- His contract with the German club doesn’t expire until the summer of 2025
In 2010, Bellingham made his debut in Birmingham. The young player quickly advanced through the club’s system and established himself as a mainstay in the starting lineup. Some of the best teams in Europe took notice of him, but Dortmund beat off the competition to sign the 19-year-old.
Since then, his success has only increased. The Englishman has played in over 120 games for the German club, contributing to 45 goals. He has contributed to 17 goals in 37 games so far this season.
Liverpool Newsnow: What’s the matter?
His contract with the German club doesn’t expire until the summer of 2025. But with so much competition for his services, he’s likely to depart in the summer. Liverpool seems to be the most aggressive of several major European teams in their pursuit of the 19-year-old.
This season has not gone well for the Merseyside club. They were eliminated from the Champions League and are now competing for a place in the league’s top four. Their main problem has been a lack of consistency in the middle of the field.
What’s next for Jude Bellingham?
Jurgen Klopp is eager to bolster his midfield and has shown interest in doing so. And Bellingham is where he’s aiming to strike first. That’s why they’ve already submitted a proposal of £84 million. Dortmund, though, has not yet responded and will be open to offers from teams throughout Europe between now and the summer transfer window.
Although Liverpool have made an offer for the 19-year-old, they still face competition from Real Madrid to get the England international. If Los Blancos want to find a replacement for Luka Modric, they should focus their attention on Bellingham.
Ancelotti would want to have Bellingham take over for the ageing Croatian midfielder. With Madrid in the mix, the outcome is anyone’s guess.
