Liverpool believe they can present an appealing project to Jude Bellingham regardless of where they finish in the Premier League this season, TEAMtalk has been told – while they may have an advantage over Real Madrid in the race to sign him. Bellingham will be one of the most in-demand players in the summer transfer window. His form for Borussia Dortmund and England has put him on the radar of several elite clubs across Europe.
Liverpool have emerged as major admirers, given their own need to strengthen in midfield. However, there is widespread competition for Bellingham, including from clubs who currently look more likely than Liverpool to have Champions League football on offer next season.
Reigning La Liga champions Real Madrid could be one of the most serious threats to Liverpool’s chances of landing Bellingham. Yet Jacobs has revealed that Liverpool might have a financial advantage over the club that just knocked them out of the Champions League.
