Liverpool are being mentioned as the prime contenders to sign Borussia Dortmund’s midfielder Jude Bellingham, but the former Birmingham City starlet would cost them a lot! The German club won’t allow the Englishman to leave unless they receive an offer of around $140 million!Dortmund unearthed a gem when they spotted the youngster in Birmingham. Even though he was just 17 years old at the time, the yellow-blacks shelled out $25.3 million to secure Jude’s signature last July. Today, just 15 months later, the tricky midfielder’s value has gone through the roof.Next round & MOTM. Good night. pic.twitter.com/Hi9x1tQdFK— Jude Bellingham (@BellinghamJude) October 26, 2021 Jurgen Klopp is a known admirer of Dortmund’s star and is believed to be keen on bringing the 18-year-old to Anfield. But the German club is in no rush to sell the player whose contract still has four years to run. And if the Reds really want to add the midfielder to their ranks – they would have to break their transfer record.Jude has adjusted quickly to playing at the highest level in Bundesliga and Champions League and has already produced several eye-catching performances this season. He has made over 60 appearances for Dortmund in total so far. So far this season Bellingham has started each of BVB’s fixtures in both the Bundesliga and Champions League and continues to catch the eye. He was also rewarded with eight caps for his country and will be an integral player under England boss Gareth Southgate, who is bedding him in slowly into the national team setup.##EDITORS_CHOICE##Not only the German club is keen to keep one Bellingham, but they’re also seriously looking into the possibility of adding another. They are preparing a swoop for Jude’s younger brother Jobe. The Sun have reported that interest is growing at the Westfalenstadion to reunite the two siblings, and Jobe has been making a name for himself back in Birmingham.GERMAN CUP – Second roundTuesdayMunster – Hertha 1-3 (1-1)/Deters 41 – Jovetic 3, Belfodil 79, Richter 83/Babelsberg – RB Leipzig 0-1 (0-1)/Szoboszlai 45/1860 Munchen – Schalke 04 1-0 (1-0)/Lex 5/Hoffenheim – Holstein Kiel 5-1 (2-0)/Van den Bergh 3 og, Wahl 31 og, Stiller 59, Dabbur 72, Larsen 84 – Neumann 47/Borussia Dortmund – Ingolstadt 2-0 (0-0)/Hazard 72, 81/Osnabruck – Freiburg 2-2 AET (1-1 FT, 0-1 HT)/Gugganing 90, Klaas 108, Simakala 117 – Grifo 33, Schlotterbeck 120/Nurmberg – Hamburg 1-1 (0-1)/Duman 59 – David 45/Mainz – Arminia Bielefeld 3-2 AET (2-2 FT, 0-1 HT)/Burkardt 53, Onisiwo 58, Ingvartsen 114 – Okugawa 2, Klos 89/Wednesday19.30: (4.60) Mannheim (3.60) Union Berlin (1.80)19.30: (3.10) Dinamo Dresden (3.35) St.Pauli (2.30)19.30: (2.25) Bochum (3.30) Augsburg (3.25)19.30: (1.28) Leverkusen (6.00) Karlsruher (9.50)21.45: (2.00) Jahn Regensburg (3.45) Hansa (3.80)21.45: (2.60) Stuttgart (3.30) Koln (2.70)21.45: (7.00) M’ gladbach (4.60) Bayern (1.45)21.45: (2.70) Hannover (3.30) Fortuna Dusseldorf (2.60)***odds are subject to change
