Liverpool’s primary transfer target Jude Bellingham has just a 31 per cent chance of moving clubs in January, according to a data scientist.
Bellingham is one of the most sought-after players in world football, with the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid all said to be interested in the teenager.
The Borussia Dortmund star has developed into one of the most all-rounded players in world football since arriving in the Bundesliga in 2020 for a £30million fee.

At the tender age of 19, Bellingham has made 112 appearances for Dortmund, scoring 21 times, providing 19 assists and even taking on the captaincy this term.
Meanwhile, the Birmingham-born star’s performances for England at the Qatar World Cup have only enhanced his reputation further.
Though a score of clubs are interested in signing the player, it seems unlikely he will make a move in January.
Bellingham to stay in January
Despite the enormous interest in Bellingham from the biggest clubs in Europe, the player has just a 31 per cent chance of departing Dortmund in January, according to Twenty First Group data scientist Aurel Nazmiu.

Twenty First Group takes into account factors such as age, position, an individual’s ability relative to their club, contract length, and World Cup game-time to determine the likelihood of a player transferring elsewhere.
Despite the relatively low chance of Bellingham leaving Dortmund in January, he is still the third most likely of all World Cup stars to make a transfer this winter.
The player deemed most likely to transfer to a new club is Ismaila Sarr, who has a 38 per pent chance of leaving Watford.
United’s top transfer target Cody Gakpo is the second most likely player to move next month, with a 34 per cent chance of leaving PSV Eindhoven.
