Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp ‘really wants’ to sign Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham, CBS journalist Ben Jacobs has claimed. The 19-year-old is a player of enormous promise, having burst onto the scene for both Dortmund and England, being described as ‘scary’ by international team-mate Jack Grealish.

Bellingham has been strongly linked with a move to Liverpool in recent weeks, with midfield seen as the one area in Jurgen Klopp’s squad which could do with another strong signing.

The teenager looks set to stay at Dortmund for another year, though, before departing for pastures new in 2023. Speaking to GiveMeSport, Jacobs talked up Liverpool’s interest in Bellingham, claiming that Klopp is desperate to snap him up at some stage.

The reporter stated: “Liverpool could still add another midfielder, and they will also plan ahead for future windows, with Dortmund’s Jude Bellingham a player Jurgen Klopp really wants.” While it would be a big surprise if Bellingham ends up leaving Dortmund this summer, it does feel as though Liverpool could be the favourites to snap him up this time next year.

Dortmund edge Leverkusen as Union claim Berlin bragging rights

BERLIN: A first-half goal from captain Marco Reus was enough to see Borussia Dortmund past Bayer Leverkusen while Union Berlin defeated city rivals Hertha to claim derby bragging rights. In a fixture known more for attack than defense in recent years — three of the past five games between Dortmund and Leverkuson have featured seven goals — it was highlighted by defense, particularly that of Dortmund newcomer Nico Schlotterbeck. After a nervy opening, the home side took the lead in the ninth minute when Reus finished off a slick team move kick-started by aggressive pressing from Dortmund’s 19-year-old England international Jude Bellingham.
