All signs seem to point to Liverpool as things currently stand when it comes to the future of generational midfielder Jude Bellingham.
Following Christian Falk’s report that the Reds have taken the lead in the transfer race for the talented Englishman, Sunday World’s Kevin Palmer also took to Twitter to say that the player “seems likely” to choose “the club before that money”. .

People close to the 19-year-old, including comments coming directly from him, largely suggest that he is far from being motivated by material factors, providing another big boost to Merseysiders’ hopes of achieving their main goal on next summer.

The significant price tag will have to be seriously considered first, of course: £130m, the current benchmark for a deal, will represent a club record if we decide to break it.
However, there is an element of guarantee around the talent on offer, with Bellingham lighting up the stage in Europe, at club level and internationally on the biggest stage in world football.
Crazy as it sounds, Liverpool would already be bringing in one of the most proven footballers they could find on the market, at 19-years-old, to complement a midfield department in dire need of investment.
