Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy has tipped the Reds to sign dynamic Dortmund man Jude Bellingham next summer in a ‘hell of a deal’.
The 19-year-old is a long-term target for the Reds, having been linked with the club since he left Birmingham City in 2020.
And he showed his true potential once again in the Champions League this week, bagging against Copenhagen in Dortmund’s 3-0 win. Marco Reus and Raphael Guerreiro also scored for BVB.

Murphy, who featured 170 times for the Reds between 1997-2004, told TalkSPORT that Liverpool should definitely be going all out for the £50,000-a-week star from Signal Iduna Park.
“That would be a hell of a signing. it would change the dynamic of the midfield, in terms of that he’s an attacking, goalscoring midfielder. He’s a super player. Some of the attributes he’s got for such a young man”
“I liked his celebration when he scored last night actually. As if to say; ‘Here I am, look at me’.”

It’s not a secret at all that Liverpool are interested in Bellingham, with Jurgen Klopp once saying that ‘the only problem’ with him is that he is not available.
The midfielder is one of the most desirable players in world football at the current moment, having played over 100 senior matches before his 19th birthday and displaying elite leadership at such a young age - even being picked to be Dortmund’s third-choice captain this summer.
He’s been capped 15 times by England already and is expected to play a huge role at the World Cup this winter in Qatar.
Clubs will be aware that Liverpool definitively need a midfielder, though - and prices will skyrocket, Bellingham or not.

Not only this, but many other clubs will be interested in him including Chelsea, Manchester City and Real Madrid.
