Bellingham has continued to thrive at Dortmund and is enjoying his best season in front of goal, scoring 10 goals and providing six assists in 34 games in all competitions for the Bundesliga leaders.
Liverpool face stiff competition to sign the midfielder, with Manchester City and Real Madrid also believed to be in the running for the teenager's signature.
The Reds look to have made the first move as they aim to bring Bellingham to Merseyside, with football agent Hayden Dodge claiming that the Merseyside club have already submitted a £100m bid for the England international.
If accepted, it would be a new club-record transfer for Liverpool - breaking the current record of £85m, paid to sign Darwin Nunez from Benfica last summer.
“It’s known that a bid [from Liverpool] just shy of £100m has been submitted for Jude Bellingham ahead of this summer’s transfer window,” Dodge told Caught Offside.
“A revamp in the middle of the park is exactly what Liverpool, their fans and Jurgen Klopp need so it is not surprising to see them going all out for Bellingham.”
Liverpool aren't the only side looking to prise Bellingham away from the Bundesliga this summer, with Real Madrid reportedly readying a 'massive bid' of their own.
As reported by Spanish news outlet AS, Real Madrid are understood to have sent representatives to Dortmund earlier this month in order to hold talks with Bellingham and his family over a proposed move to the Spanish capital.
The report adds that Carlo Ancelotti's side would be willing to offer as much as €140m (£123m) in order to secure the services of the 19-year-old star.
Dortmund are giving up hope of keeping hold of Bellingham past the summer, as they are reported to have concocted a secret plan to keep Jude at the club.
