Liverpool And Chelsea Both Tracking 100M Rated Midfield Maestro Who Guardiola Called “Fantastic”

Liverpool are keeping tabs on Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham, according to Eurosport. Both the Reds and Chelsea are said to be very interested in the 17-year-old who has been in excellent form recently.

The England international delivered a standout performance against Manchester City in the Champions League on Wednesday, leading to manager Pep Guardiola to describe him as a “fantastic player” after the game.

Bellingham turned down Manchester United and a number of other Premier League teams to make the £25m move to Dortmund from Birmingham in July last year. However, in the space of nine months, Eurosport believe his valuation has quadrupled to £100m.

At that price, the Reds are unlikely to have the funds required to bring him back to England. The player himself is said to be happy to stay in the Bundesliga for the time being, in order to continue developing his game, but he does have designs on coming back to the Premier League in the not too distant future.
