Liverpool reportedly lead the race to sign Borussia Dortmund midfielder next summer

Liverpool lead the race to sign Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham, according to The Mirror, as cited by LFC Transfer Room's Twitter account.

The report states that the Reds have been impressed with the Englishman's performances for both club and country.

Bellingham's current contract expires in the summer of 2025. The 18-year-old possesses a current market value of €70 million.

However, a hefty price tag will reportedly not put Reds boss Jurgen Klopp off signing Bellingham.

ANFIELD WATCH VERDICT

We would love to see Liverpool sign Bellingham. The midfielder is a talented footballer.

Bellingham has scored seven goals and registered 12 assists in 67 appearances for Borussia Dortmund.

The Englishman has also been averaging a WhoScored player rating of 7.34 in the early stages of the 2021-22 Bundesliga campaign.

The aforementioned figures highlight that Bellingham is a capable senior footballer. Hopefully the 18-year-old is wearing the famous red next season.

But, only time will tell if Liverpool and Bellingham are to link up.
