Borussia Dortmund have reportedly slapped a £101 million price tag on Liverpool target Jude Bellingham who is valued highly by Jurgen Klopp at Anfield.
The England international midfield talent is understood to be one of the top names on the shopping list for the Liverpool manager who is hoping to add to his options in the centre of the park in the forthcoming transfer windows.
Reports from German news outlet BILD claim that Liverpool’s hopes of making a formal approach to bring in the Dortmund first-teamer could be hit by the Bundesliga outfit demanding an exorbitant fee to sanction the player’s sale.
Klopp is open to breaking Liverpool’s transfer record to land Bellingham, according to the rumour mill, but Dortmund’s latest valuation worth £101 million could play spoilsport for Liverpool’s interest in the former Birmingham City midfielder.
An injury crisis for Klopp’s midfield ranks early on this new season has added to the woes of the Liverpool boss who might have to fast-track his plans of signing a fresh face in the upcoming winter transfer window.
