Is Jude Bellingham worth £130million?
Jude Bellingham is the most sought-after player in world football right now. Borussia Dortmund know this and it is no doubt why they now believe the England international is worth in excess of £130million.
If they managed to get such a fee for the box-to-box midfielder, he would be their most expensive export, surpassing the £112million they pocketed for Ousmane Dembele when the Frenchman joined Barcelona in the summer of 2017.
That was a unique deal in many ways. Barca …
The Windows of Change
It seems an absolute eternity ago that Liverpool were signing certain players under the management of Brendan Rogers at Liverpool. This summer could see some of Mohammad Salah, Sadio Mané, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, James Milner and Joe Gomez leave the club. Whereas the first two are key components within this current Liverpool side, there is no longer the absolute fear of what (or who) comes next. The recent signing of Luis Diaz has been sensational, and helps to reaffirm the current …
Should Liverpool move for Ousmane Dembele on a free transfer?
Ousmane Dembele might soon join the likes of Arda Turan and Simao as players forever linked with Liverpool who never actually made the move to Merseyside. The French winger is yet again being linked with a move to Anfield with his Barcelona deal set to expire at the end of the season.
The 24-year-old was named as a Liverpool transfer target during Jurgen Klopp’s first summer with the club and if you believe reports, he was actually ahead of Sadio …
Klopp rumoured to be eyeing a move for Ousmane Dembélé

The report claims that Liverpool are interested in signing Dembélé for around €80 million.
France international Dembélé is still only 22, yet, he has been performing to global audiences since his late teens. The youngster made his breakthrough with French Ligue 1 side Rennes in 2015/16, scoring 12 goals and providing 7 assists in his 26 league appearances.

Why Liverpool Should Resist Any Coutinho Reunion
Liverpool should resist the temptation to sign Phillipe Coutinho next summer.
According to reports in Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona will look to cut their losses on Coutinho in the next transfer window.
Since the Brazilian's acrimonious £142M departure from Liverpool in January 2018, the 27 year old's switch to Barcelona has been nothing short of an unmitigated disaster.
Struggling to fit into the tactical blueprint of the Nou Camp sides former manager, Ernesto Valverde, the attacking midfielder struggled to the …
Liverpool should return to sign La Liga starlet
In football, rejection often closes that particular chapter. Clubs won't continue to their pursuit if a player has made it clear they aren't keen on the move. Sometimes it's to do with pride. Other times it's because the world of football moves fast and teams can't wait around on the off chance a mind is changed. Liverpool, however, are one of the few teams who seem to leave the door slightly ajar if a move doesn't materialise first-time around.
Countless …
Where Do Liverpool Most Need Strengthening?
Has there ever been a sensible Liverpool transfer window?
No. Well, there’s that sorted, do remember to follow me on Twitter, and stay tuned to any further luminary bits.
But that’s not enough, is it? Why, for example, if Liverpool have just won a Champions League final, and have already reported back to pre-season for a day or two, aren’t they already three signings into an emboldened, balls-to-the-wall transfer window?
Well, possibly because to catch their only direct competitors, they …
Liverpool Must Not Underestimate The Importance Of Investment This Summer
It's been a fairly interesting pre-season so far.
Premier League champions Manchester City have also been heavily linked with Spanish international Rodri, a 23-year-old central midfielder currently learning his trade at Atletico Madrid.
Another of Liverpool's rivals, Manchester United, completed the signing of right-back Aaron Wan Bissaka from Crystal Palace - who has drawn many comparisons to the Reds' own full-back Alexander Arnold. The Red Devils have also been linked with Leicester centre-back Harry Maguire, who could be another to …
L'Equipe claims Liverpool have made an approach for Ousmane Dembele
French publication L'Equipe is claiming that both Liverpool and FC Bayern have made an approach to sign Barcelona's young winger Ousmane Dembele.
L'Equipe's report states that Dembele would prefer to stay at Camp Nou, however. The 22-year-old French international has already impressed in the Bundesliga after spending one season with Jurgen Klopp's old club, Borussia Dortmund, where he moved for €15 million from Rennes in 2016.
Barcelona snapped up the youngster just 12 months later and brought him to LaLiga.

Five Potential Attackers to Backup Liverpool's Main Men
Christian Pulisic
Dortmund’s American sensation, Christian Pulisic has been on the radar of Liverpool (and Klopp) for a while now. Just nineteen and already laboured with shouldering the burdens of club and country, he’s certainly got experience beyond his years.
Still raw and unrefined, Pulisic’s sublime dribbling ability is the first thing that stands out whenever he gets on the ball. Alongside that, however is the tendency to come up big when it matters, such as the winner he scored …
