Since joining Dortmund from Birmingham City, Jude Bellingham has been racking up rave reviews and even forced his way into the England national team, all by the age of 18. However, as is the case with several talented players who make a name for themselves at the Signal Iduna Park, the teenager is being closely followed by one of Europe's biggest teams.
That side is none other than Liverpool, the 2018/19 Champions League winners and 2019/20 Premier League champions. According to several reports, Jurgen Klopp is an admirer of the Three Lions starlet and is said to have made him priority number one at Anfield.
And it's hard not to see why the German tactician is a fan of the midfielder. Since arriving at Dortmund, he has gone from strength to strength, contributing to eight goals last season, including an incredible goal against Man City in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals.
This season, Bellingham has been excellent, netting twice and assisting another two goals in nine Bundesliga games. This includes a sensational solo goal against Arminia Bielefeld in which he dribbled past three players before dinking the keeper in his side's 3-1 triumph.
Unfortunately for Liverpool, and any other club eyeing the 18-year-old, Dortmund look keen on keeping him at the Signal Iduna Park and are said to have slapped a hefty price tag on the midfielder in order to ward off interest. According to Bild, that price tag is a whopping £101M, which translates into $139M.
Bellingham hasn't shown any desire of wanting out of the Bundesliga giants, and given that his current contract runs until 2025, Dortmund hold all the power. The allure of Anfield is tremendous right now, probably the strongest it has even been in recent history, but it looks like the Englishman will only leave for a fee north of the 100 million mark.
