Jude Bellingham is still interested in joining Liverpool in the summer, despite the fact that the Reds have struggled this season.
Bellingham, 19, is expected to become the latest superstar to leave Borussia Dortmund for a record fee this summer. Liverpool have long been touted as frontrunners for the England midfielder’s signature, but there have been concerns that they may miss out given their current position in the Premier League.
However, the Reds’ recent record has not deterred Bellingham. And it’s possible that Liverpool will lead their midfield overhaul in the summer by landing their top transfer target if they can meet Borussia Dortmund’s demands.
Klopp’s plans for rebuilding
Jurgen Klopp will have no doubts about what needs to be done in the summer to ensure the Reds remain title contenders after a turbulent season.
With Liverpool set to finish the season without a trophy following their Champions League thrashing at the hands of Real Madrid, focus may shift slightly to the summer transfer window. It’s been widely reported that the Merseyside club is looking for new midfielders, but there are others who require attention as well.
A number of fringe players are also expected to leave Anfield in the summer, implying that the Reds may have a busy summer. Below, Mirror Football assesses some of the potential changes.
