Jude Bellingham may have a release clause that could allow him to leave Borussia Dortmund for just £60m next summer, according to reports in the English media.
Liverpool, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea have all been linked with the 19-year-old and, if his buyout fee is as low as has been claimed, there could be a fierce scramble for his signature at the end of the season.
With Liverpool believed to be among the favourites to snap up Bellingham, fans on Twitter are delighted by this latest development:

At the moment, the existence of this release clause hasn’t been corroborated by any reliable sources so it is wise for supporters to take this report with a large pinch of salt.
However, the fact that Liverpool are willing to pay up to £50m for Cody Gakpo, as well as planning to sign another midfielder this month, may suggest the Reds know something about Bellingham’s price that we don’t know about. We shall have to wait and see how this transfer story develops.
