Several former Reds are confident that the first Liverpool summer transfer will be a formality.

According to reports, the ongoing struggle between teams like Manchester City, Real Madrid, and Liverpool will continue to impact the Jude Bellingham transfer saga

Despite assertions to the contrary from reliable sources, it appears that club legends of the Liverpool-based team now anticipate the Reds to prevail in the competition and sign the Englishman, with a deal being nothing more than a “matter of formalities.”

According to the journalist’s article for Football Transfers, Bellingham is expected to decide where he wants to go by the end of the month. Liverpool club legends predict this relocation to Anfield and assert that the deal is only a formality.

This comes in the wake of a report from David Ornstein at The Athletic that caused a frenzy and which he has since repeated, stating the ‘increasing’ unlikelihood of Jurgen Klopp’s team pulling off the aforementioned deal.

According to what we’ve been told here at Empire of the Kop, the player and his family are interested in the L4 project and aren’t necessarily turned off by our difficulties this term.

In fact, if anything, we’d like Bellingham and company to take heart from the fact that a lot of our problems can be attributed to a dearth of new ideas and legs in the middle of the park.

While adding the 19-year-old won’t solve all of the problems on the red half of Merseyside, it would be a big step in the right direction for the manager as he seeks to assemble his next outstanding squad.

We tend to think back on one piece of advice the German tactician gave Philippe Coutinho, a former Anfield favorite, before his foolish departure for Catalonia, which could be modified for the England international’s upcoming decision.

Bellingham would probably be considered just “another player” in Spain, but success in England, and hopefully with Liverpool, would be much more likely to ensure him revered status at whichever club he signs on the dotted line for.
