Romano update

Romano has reiterated that Liverpool are among the clubs vying for Bellingham’s signature.

The transfer guru claimed the Reds are holding discussions with those close to the teenager in the hope of gaining an upper hand in negotiations.

“They’re already in contact with people close to Jude Bellingham, so Liverpool will be there.”

What Dortmund have said

It is understood by Bild the club value, Bellingham, at around £131million, given the England star’s contract does not run out until 2025.

"With him, with his parents, with whom we have a very close relationship. And of course with his advisor. And then he should just tell us whether he wants to stay or whether he wants to leave. In both cases, we will have a very pleasant and reasonable discussion with each other.

"But we don’t have to pretend that the issue is not on the table. If the really big clubs are involved, then we can’t afford to have a fight financially.”
