Liverpool could accelerate plans to secure the services of Dortmund talent Jude Bellingham. The reason is the interest that Borussia has expressed in Naby Keita, and this could serve for a possible exchange of players between the 2 clubs. "The Reds" have long been admirers of the English midfielder, and lead the race for his card.
Trustees of Jurgen Klopp have started the new season with plenty of question marks, drawing with Fulham and Crystal Palace, as well as with a 2-1 defeat to Manchester United. These results have left Jurgen Klopp's men in 16th place in the championship. "The Reds" are going through an injury crisis in the midfield, which has significantly affected the performance of the team.
Currently Keita, Thiago, Curtis Jones and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are unavailable. Jordan Henderson is now in his 30s and this has added even more responsibility to the veteran Fabinho.
Jurgen Klopp increasingly feels the need to bring more freshness to the midfield department and Jude Bellingham seems the perfect player for the task. The Englishman has a 3-year active contract with Dortmund, since he signed the renewal last summer. The leaders of the German club lost their superstar Erling Haaland in this market, and do not want to lose another important player.
But this could change due to the interest of the Germans in Keita, leaving the possibility of the transfer of Bellingham to Anfield, during the January market. According to the Mirror in England, many things will also depend on Dortmund's progress in the first half of this season. The player has scored 11 goals and 19 assists in 94 appearances with the Germans. The midfielder joined the club in 2020 from Birmingham City. Bellingham has also played 15 times for the England national team, despite being just 19 years old.
