Real Madrid are set to rival Liverpool in the race to sign Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham, however they don't want to get into a bidding war, it has been said. Plettenberg said that Jurgen Klopp is "pushing, pushing, pushing" to get his man but had not yet spoken to Bellingham himself. However, he also claimed that the likes of Julian Ward had already had conversations. The report says that the European champions were 'optimistic' weeks ago over the prospect of securing the Dortmund midfielder, but recent twists have left them feeling much less positive.There is a person there for every player, especially Otto [Addo], who has worked with the young players,” Bellingham said in 2020 of the man who is also Ghana’s coach at this World Cup. “He is great. Everyone has that support system to work for their chance in the first team. The way they integrate young players into the first-team squad is next level. There is not a club in Europe that does it quite like them.” There are some clubs like [Manchester] City and Real Madrid also in the race but he turned down proposals from Chelsea and PSG for the summer." Liverpool's highly-anticipated summer pursuit of Borussia Dortmund and England starlet Jude Bellingham has been cast into doubt due to the finances it would take to topple Manchester City and Real Madrid, according to a new report.

Liverpool, despite their poor form this season, are still reportedly in the lead to sign the 19-year-old superstar with Real Madrid and Manchester City also interested - although they could face a wait to secure his services. In November 2020, after James Ward-Prowse and Trent Alexander-Arnold withdrew through injury, Bellingham was called up to the England senior squad for the first time. [109] He made his debut in a friendly against the Republic of Ireland at Wembley on 12 November, replacing Mason Mount after 73 minutes of a 3–0 win. At 17years, 136days, he became England's third-youngest full international; only Theo Walcott and Wayne Rooney had appeared at a younger age. [110] Bellingham was named in the England squad for the UEFA Euro 2020 tournament, which was delayed until June 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. [111] When he came on as an 82nd-minute substitute in England's opening match, a 1–0 win over Croatia at Wembley on 13 June, aged 17 years and 349 days, he became both the youngest Englishman to play at any major tournament and the youngest of any nationality to play at a European Championship; [112] the latter record was broken by Poland's Kacper Kozłowski just six days later. [113] Steven Gerrard has claimed Jude Bellingham is ahead of where he was at 19-year-old, after the midfielder starred for England in the win over Ukraine at Wembley.

The Reds claimed a famous 7-0 win over their bitter rivals in their Premier League clash at Anfield on Sunday. Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah scored a brace each before Roberto Firmino finished off the scoring in front of the Kop. Carlo Ancelotti's side want to make the 19-year-old their marquee summer signing, but, according to The Athletic, are becoming resigned to the fact the financial power in England is too hard to compete against. The interviewer then suggested it would be nice to have Bellingham in the Liverpool squad. At this point, Alexander-Arnold let out a laugh and said "I suppose, yeah."
