Report: Liverpool could make fourth and final summer signing with another transfer lined up for 2023

Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp 'really want' to sign Jude Bellingham but the Reds will have to wait another year before doing so.

The Borussia Dortmund midfielder has been strongly linked with a move to Anfield this summer.

Bellingham, 19, has already played 90 times for the German club and is a player in high demand around Europe.

But Klopp is a big fan and will be their number one target next summer.

Bellingham interest revealed

Liverpool isn't the only team to hold a serious interest in the young star - a whole host of Europe's top clubs will be vying for his signature next summer.

In fact, Manchester City are rumoured to be in talks with Bellingham's representatives ahead of a potential move next summer - imagine our shock.

The claim from CBS journalist Ben Jacobs is: “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.”

If Klopp wants his man he will have to fork out a fee of around £101M (€120M) according to German sports outlet Sport BILD.

Liverpool's midfield targets

The Reds had originally chased Aurélien Tchouameni earlier this summer but lost out to Real Madrid in their pursuit of the former Monaco player.

Despite plenty of options this season, Klopp will want to re-energise things in the middle of the park and Bellingham would be the present and future if they could get that deal over the line.
