Liverpool are intensifying its move for Borussia Dortmund’s Jude Bellingham, according to reports.
The 19-year-old is regarded as one of the best young football players in the world and has already made a name for himself at Borussia Dortmund in a senior position.
He will also most likely play a key role for England in the World Cup, which begins later this month in Qatar.
Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City, and Real Madrid are among the clubs interested in signing the teenager.
According to Bild, Reds manager Jurgen Klopp has reached an agreement with owners Fenway Sports Group to go “all in” for Bellingham.
They are said to have set aside £86 million to sign him, but this may not be enough.
Journalist Jan Aage Fjortoft also added: “One club is working very hard behind the scenes to make this deal happen.”
According to various reports, Dortmund has valued the English teen at around £130 million.
Any transfer would almost certainly exceed the Premier League record fee of £100 million paid by Manchester City for Jack Grealish.
Liverpool’s midfield issues have been well documented, with Thiago, Jordan Henderson, and James Milner all in their 30s, while Fabinho is 29.
