Liverpool want Jude Bellingham but Dortmund may make them wait after losing Erling Haaland

The summer transfer window is approaching, and there’s plenty of gossip swirling about who’s moving where. Transfer Talk brings you all the latest buzz on rumours, comings and goings and, of course, done deals!

TOP STORY: Liverpool may have to end their summer transfer activity without target Jude Bellingham

Liverpool have already signed Fabio Carvalho and Darwin Nunez — and Calvin Ramsay is reportedly close to joining — which could be the end of their summer activity, as has been reported by The Mirror.

That is because they want to sign midfielder Jude Bellingham but would be unable to do so right now as Borussia Dortmund don’t want to lose the England international and Erling Haaland in the same summer, with the Norwegian striker already having joined Liverpool’s title rivals Manchester City.

Looking to strengthen their midfield, Liverpool had also been interested in Aurelien Tchouameni, but he opted to move from Monaco to Real Madrid instead, meaning the Reds will wait until next season to bring in Bellingham instead of moving now.

Fabinho, Thiago Alcantara and Jordan Henderson emerged as Jurgen Klopp’s most prominent midfield trio last season, which is expected to continue into the 2022/23 campaign.

There are some questions surrounding Liverpool’s other current options, as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has been linked with a possible departure while Naby Keita only has one year left on his contract. James Milner recently signed a one-year contract extension with Curtis Jones being another midfield option.

Even if it isn’t going to be happening immediately, the hope is that Klopp will eventually be able to call upon Bellingham.
