Liverpool ‘increasingly confident of Jude Bellingham transfer but Dortmund star will only join if huge condition met’

LIVERPOOL are reportedly growing confident on landing Jude Bellingham – but their success could land on one condition.

The 19-year-old has emerged as one of the most in-demand stars in world football and several super clubs are fighting over his signature.

Dortmund will likely command a huge fee for any buying clubs with Bellingham’s contract not expiring until 2025.

And Liverpool are now confident they can break free from the chasing pack and make the marquee signing, according to the Mail.

But much could depend on how the Reds finish the season.

Jurgen Klopp‘s side have finally found some form of late with their turnaround seeming complete after Sunday’s demolishing of their rivals Manchester United.

If Liverpool can keep up their strong results and finish in the top four, that could be a big factor for Bellingham.

He has played in the Champions League in the last three seasons, with this campaign coming to an end on a frustrating night at Stamford Bridge earlier this week.

Other clubs interested in Bellingham like Real Madrid and Manchester City will almost certainly be able to offer games in Europe’s top competition next season so the stakes are for Liverpool.

After four wins in five league games, they sit 5th in the table, three points behind Tottenham with a game in hand.

Even with Champions League, Liverpool face an almighty battle for Bellingham, seen as one of the most exciting young players in the world.

Bellingham’s father Mark was allegedly holding talks with interested parties in a London hotel this week before Dortmund played Chelsea.
