Liverpool 'failed in attempt to sign Jude Bellingham nearly a decade ago' and could now 'have to pay a British record £131m' for the Borussia Dortmund star... with Manchester United, Man City and Chelsea also competing for the midfielder

Liverpool could have to fork out a British record £131million if they are to sign long-term target Jude Bellingham - having previously attempted to sign him as a youngster nearly a decade ago.

The Borussia Dortmund midfielder is one of the most in demand players in world football with Manchester United, Man City, Chelsea and Real Madrid also keen on the 19-year-old.

Jurgen Klopp is a massive fan of Bellingham, though signing him this past summer was never a realistic opportunity with the Bundesliga side already losing Erling Haaland.
