According to BILD, Borussia Dortmund wants 150 million euros for Liverpool and Real Madrid target Jude Bellingham. Manchester City and Chelsea are also all interested in signing the English midfielder next summer.
Every top club in Europe will be interested, but the asking price for the midfielder will be a huge stumbling block for the vast majority of them. Liverpool are unlikely to be put off, but the player’s addition could be crucial with the Reds’ chances of finishing in the top four in the Premier League looking bleak. Jurgen Klopp’s team has time to turn things around, but four wins in their first four league games is a stuttering start.
Without the Champions League, Bellingham may not sign for the Premier League giants. Real Madrid now has the upper hand in the race to sign the England international. Aurelien Tchouameni joined the Spanish champions in the summer, and so did Eduardo Camavinga.
Given that Madrid will most likely have the best midfield in the world for the next decade, Bellingham’s arrival could pave the way for even more success.

Los Blancos will almost certainly meet Dortmund’s asking price, given that they were willing to pay around 150 million to sign Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain last year.
And, as per German publication BILD, that price has now been set at 150 million euro. A strong World Cup performance by the 19-year-old England international could push his price even higher.
Liverpool are reportedly interested in more Dortmund players than Bellingham. The Reds are also interested in young striker Youssoufa Moukoko, according to Dean Jones of GiveMeSport. The 17-year-old’s contract expires next summer and he is widely regarded as one of Europe’s best young players. The Reds are thought to be the favourites to sign the teenager.
The German 21 international has nine goals in 41 Bundesliga appearances, but he scored a whopping 90 goals in 56 games for Dortmund’s under-17 team before scoring 47 goals in 25 for their under-19s. Moukoko has 151 goals in 145 matches for Dortmund at all levels.
