Gabby Agbonlahor has claimed Liverpool will fail in their pursuit of Jude Bellingham if they don’t qualify for the Champions League. Sources told this site on Monday (23 January) that Interested clubs are likely to have to spend £120million-plus to sign the England international this summer, more than four times what Dortmund paid in 2020 when he was 16. The midfielder’s current contract runs until June 2025.
Agbonlahor told Football Insider’s Ewan Kingsbury: “I don’t think they can get him without Champions League.
“Even if they do get Champions League football, I still think there will be big competition.
“The influence of Steven Gerrard, or any of the current players – that means nothing.”
