Star Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham has been linked with a move to Liverpool for some time now.
However, recent reports suggest that the Reds are way off the mark from submitting a bid for the Englishman.
In an exclusive interview with CaughtOffside, Falk has revealed that ‘concrete talks’ are still being held with the midfielder’s father.
“The biggest focus is still on Liverpool. There were rumours of an offer Liverpool made to Dortmund for Jude Bellingham but I’ve heard that no such offer has reached the club at the moment,”
The BILD journalist said,
“But there is a reason – there are very concrete talks between Bellingham’s father, Mark, and Liverpool but both sides are not together when talking about money at the moment.
Liverpool will first make an offer as and when they have an agreement with the midfielder’s father.”
Falk warns Liverpool about interest from other clubs for Dortmund star Jude Bellingham
Christian Falk has backed the Reds to find an agreement with the midfielder’s family. However, he has also warned that their possible financial struggles could prove to be a massive barrier.
“You see that Bellingham is willing to go to Liverpool but if another club puts a lot more money on the table, it would be hard to say yes.
I think the biggest rival in this race is Manchester City at the moment, as they have the money, they’re a Premier League club and competing for titles. Real Madrid are still behind the two Premier League clubs at the moment.
I think the Bellingham family will try to get an agreement with Liverpool but the Reds find themselves somewhat shackled by their finances in comparison to Pep Guardiola’s outfit.”
Liverpool’s midfield seems to be lacking intensity, innovation, and defensive cover on multiple occasions this season. The 19-year-old seems to be the best possible solution to satisfy all those qualities.
