Liverpool are Jude Bellingham’s first-choice destination should he leave Borussia Dortmund this summer, sources have told Football Insider. The Reds are frontrunners to sign the 19-year-old Dortmund star this summer, although Real Madrid remain firmly in the race. Dortmund have opened talks with over a new deal, and it is understood that the England international is still undecided if he wants to leave Germany at the end of the season. The Bundesliga giants are demanding in excess of £130million in order to let go of Bellingham this summer.
Bellingham has emphasised that his full focus is on Dortmund’s title race this season before he turns his attention towards the inevitable summer saga.
He has helped Dortmund to second in the table, just two points off rivals Bayern Munich with 10 league games remaining in the 2022/23 campaign. In his three seasons in Germany, Bellingham has made 123 appearances across all competitions for Dortmund and scored 20 goals.
