Courted by Manchester City, Real Madrid and Liverpool for the summer, Jude Bellingham is moving away from the Reds according to the latest reports in the English press.

Considered as one of the best journalists in England, David Ornstein gives an update on the Jude Bellingham file this Monday via the website The Athletic. And according to this source, Liverpool is no longer the favorite in this XXL file that also interests Manchester City and Real Madrid.

The talented English midfielder of Borussia Dortmund has no release clause in his German contract and the club that wants to buy him this summer will have to agree with the BvB, which will demand at least 100 million euros, if not more.

Liverpool dumped for Bellingham

According to The Athletic, "increasingly unlikely that Liverpool will sign Bellingham in this summer’s transfer window" due to the "anticipated fee, the financial power of rival suitors and their reticence about entering a bidding war at the level expected".

If nothing is yet decided or completed, Liverpool is no longer the favorite according to sources close to the case consulted by the English media. Sources who think that Manchester City and Real Madrid are now in a strong position.

Two clubs that are still alive in the Champions League, unlike Liverpool, eliminated by Real Madrid. The Reds are also currently 6th in the Premier League and are not guaranteed to play in the next Champions League, which will certainly be an important criterion for Bellingham at the time of the choice.
