Liverpool have reportedly fallen behind Real Madrid in the race to sign Jude Bellingham this summer following an in-person meeting between the player and the Spanish giants.
The England international midfielder is sure to spark off a transfer war over the summer between Europe’s biggest clubs despite the fact that Borussia Dortmund are set to slap an eyewatering price tag on their first team regular’s head.
Jurgen Klopp is out to add a new first-choice midfielder to his ranks before the start of the next season and Bellingham is understood to be the top target for the Liverpool head coach who wants to rebuild his squad.
According to a recent report from the Spanish publication AS, however, it is suggested that the Real camp recently met Bellingham in Germany to hold in-person discussions over a potential transfer to the Bernabeu come the summer.
This could mean that Liverpool risk being pipped to their long standing target’s signature by the Champions League holders Real who are equally keen to sign Bellingham and bolster their midfield roster.
