Liverpool’s main target for next summer is Jude Bellingham, I think everyone can say that for sure. Every single news outlet has talked about it, and it remains clear to me that Bellingham will not be playing in the Bundesliga next season.

According to reports, the club he currently plays for thinks the same.

According to new reports from Matteo Moretto, Dortmund are assuming that Bellingham will not be playing for the club next summer, and are already looking for replacements for the English superstar.

I mean, it’s not really a surprise, but at the same time, it wasn’t confirmed until now. Well, it is still not confirmed, but you know what I mean.

Liverpool might finally get their superstar signing Jude Bellingham

There were reports this past week about Bellingham potentially being swayed by Dortmund towards extending his stay at Dortmund because of an absolute behemoth of a contract that Dortmund were supposedly preparing for him, which would make him by far the highest paid player at the club, and I assume one of the very top earners in the league as well.

But, if these new reports are to be believed, then I guess we can say for sure that no matter what happens, Liverpool have a better chance of getting Bellingham than Dortmund have of keeping the Englishman.

According to so many reporters, Liverpool currently lead the race for Bellingham, and are the favourites to sign him. The job is not finished, obviously, as there is still no official confirmation out. Things change. So the club has to remain on its toes and make sure that the deal is finalised as soon as possible, because if they don’t sign him, someone else would.
