December 08-according to a joint report by German newspaper Bild reporter Yannick H ü ber, Tobias Altsch ä ffl and Axel Hesse, the famous English song Hey Jude has been sung for many years, while Borussia Dortmund midfielder Bellingham of the same name seems to be arriving in the Beatles’ birthplace, the English port city of Liverpool.
What Sports Bild can reveal is that Bellingham’s father Mark, mother Dennis and their hired agent Mark Bennett are the three main negotiators who have told Real Madrid that negotiations with Liverpool are extremely advanced. His father Mark, in particular, believes that his son’s move to Liverpool is the right step in his career and life.
As for Liverpool, there is no doubt that Bellingham can be the mainstay in the old and young midfield structure.
The problem now is the transfer fee. Bellingham’s contract expires in 2025 without liquidated damages, with Dortmund asking for 150 million euros. Sports Bild has previously revealed that Klop has reached an agreement with Gordon and Fenway Group that they will pay a transfer fee of 100 million euros as Bellingham’s budget. However, even if Klop and Watsk are affectionate, the best friendship cannot close the gap of 50 million euros.
So now for the English club, the hope of this mediation will rest on Fenway’s sale of Liverpool for 4.5 billion euros, followed by the new owner to fill the money. Before that, Bellingham’s performance in the World Cup will give Borussia Dortmund a better bargaining chip and negotiating position.
As negotiations between Liverpool and Bellingham become more specific, Real Madrid are not happy about it. The midfielder with Cross, Joan Armeni and Modric will not be able to make room in a short period of time, and Bellingham will not move again in the short term once he moves, which is the consideration of Real Madrid.
But Bellingham has left himself a way out, and Manchester City and Real Madrid will be the two alternatives to Liverpool. For Bellingham, his transfer will focus on two points:
The stable position of the main force and the long-term trust of the new coach will be far greater than any salary condition.
Guardiola’s contract renewal is also a factor, after Ward’s resignation, Klop will have more and more say in the transfer, two top Premiership coaches are full of praise for Bellingham, the battle is bound to intensify.
