The 23-year-old was plucked from the Wolves defense and even had a goal disallowed after a VAR assessment before Virgil van Dijk gave Liverpool the lead in the 73rd minute with a header.

Mohamed Salah scored his 20th goal of the season as the Meyersiders grabbed all three points to boost their chances of finishing in the top four. “I would say he’s really getting there. Everyone can see he’s just a handful, just a real threat,” Klopp said after the game, as quoted by Liverpoolfc.com.

“The [unrecognized] goal he scored was also a great reaction, a great finish.

“The races he had, one more down the line; no cross comes in at the end but [it was] pretty much like Everton’s goal if you will.

Jude Bellingham was handed a new offer by Real Madrid after being asked to refuse Liverpool’s move

 

Jude Bellingham is at the center of a transfer battle with Real Madrid and Liverpool this summer as one of the most prominent clubs watching his situation with Dortmund

Real Madrid will evaluate the long-term futures of Luka Modric and Toni Kroos before committing to a move for Jude Bellingham, who has been asked to turn down a move to Liverpool.

Liverpool have credited interest in Bellingham on a number of occasions in the past, with Jurgen Klopp being a huge fan. Meanwhile, rivals Manchester City and Manchester United are also admirers, but it is Madrid who have emerged as favorites to sign him.

Bellingham’s starring role in England’s recent World Cup has led the Reds to intensify their interest in signing the midfielder, whose transfer rate continues to rise.

Klopp said of the Englishman: “Bellingham is just brilliant. He plays as mature as a 28-year-old player. Everyone already knew his skills, but I have no idea what that means for the money. He is very good, exceptional. He had an incredible World Cup.”

Klopp has admitted something needs to change at the Reds and is aiming for a summer makeover of the team, with a particular focus on the aging midfielder. The club missed out on signing Aurelien Tchouameni from Real Madrid last summer. Tchouameni became the latest addition to Los Blancos’ midfield to complete the acquisition of Eduardo Camavinga last year and the rise of Fede Valverde with the sale of Casemiro, as well as Modric and Kroos in the fall of their glorious career.

A report from Diario AS reveals that Madrid are unwilling to commit to a big swap for Bellingham who could set a world record for a midfielder unless they think at least one of Kroos or Modric will drastically reduce his must-have first team minutes.

Madrid are said to believe that a year later – if Bellingham is out of contract with Dortmund in 2025 – his transfer fee would go down.

With this, they could pay the midfielder a higher salary which would entice him to stay in the Bundesliga for another year.

The Frenchman believes United are now a more attractive offer for the midfield star thanks to his resurgence under Erik ten Hag. When Bellingham was asked about his future ahead of Dortmund’s Champions League clash with Manchester City earlier this season, the teenager explained: “The club have done a lot for me and made me feel very welcome since I arrived. and they gave me the opportunity to grow. To look further and into the future would be disrespectful. Honestly, I don’t think about that.”
