Jurgen Klopp hinted at Liverpool’s progress in signing Borussia Dortmund’s Jude Bellingham during his press conference on Friday, ahead of the Reds’ weekend clash with Manchester City
The 19-year-old is Klopp’s top target as the summer transfer window approaches, as the German looks to rebuild his midfield ahead of next season.
The midfield has been a major contributor to Liverpool’s poor season, and bringing in the best young midfielder in the world is a good place to start. The Dortmund star is expected to cost a lot of money, which could be a problem for the Merseyside club if they miss out on Champions League football next season.
However, Liverpool will try to outbid Real Madrid and Manchester City for Bellingham, and Klopp may have hinted at this during his press conference on Friday.
When asked if he used the international break to plan for next season, Klopp told Ian Doyle: “I couldn’t plan training sessions because we didn’t know who was here, so yes.” Positive from the player’s perspective. There have been discussions, but no decisions have been made. As you can imagine, we are extremely busy.”
Although this is not public, positive talks with potential signings sound promising for Liverpool fans, as it is highly likely that they will prioritize their top target over the others.
