Liverpool goal Jude Bellingham continues to show interest as he thrives at Borussia Dortmund

Liverpool fans have been scouring Jude Bellingham’s latest Instagram post with numerous transfer requests, hoping to lure the Borussia Dortmund man to Anfield.

The 19-year-old is fast becoming Europe’s most coveted player following his exploits with both England and the Bundesliga. Jurgen Klopp’s side are among the interested parties but will face competition from Real Madrid and Manchester City, as well as a possible extension at Signal Iduna Park.

The desperation and clamor for a new arrival is set to increase in the coming days as the market closes in just over 24 hours (11pm Tuesday 31st January).

Liverpool were knocked out of the FA Cup on Sunday as Brighton booked their place in the fifth round thanks to an injury time stoppage from Kaoru Mitoma. Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, continued their unbeaten comeback at home.

After the win, the midfielder posted on Instagram: “Take three big points from Dortmund.”

Reds fans have flocked to his latest upload to express their desire to see him follow Klopp from the yellow wall to Anfield. One user commented: ‘Come to Liverpool we need you’, while another added: ‘Come to Liverpool man we need a rescue.’

Reds fans have flocked to his latest upload to express their desire to see him follow Klopp from the yellow wall to Anfield. One user commented: ‘Come to Liverpool we need you’, while another added: ‘Come to Liverpool man we need a rescue.’ They were not alone though, as Real Madrid and even some Chelsea fans – who had free transfers during the January transfer window – tried to convince the former Birmingham City midfielder.

Bellingham returned to the squad following his suspension, picking up three wins from three following a 2-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen.

He captained Edin Terzic’s side while Karim Adeyemi and an Edmond Tapsoba own goal took them into the Champions League and within three points of leaders Bayern Munich.

Speaking to BEIN Sports after their second defeat in as many weeks on the south coast to Roberto De Zerbi’s side, Klopp admitted Cody Gakpo will be this month’s only signing.

“No, nothing happens in this transfer window. Everything is fine,” he said.

Jurgen Klopp has found a new ‘playmaker’ in the chaos of Liverpool as a $79m transfer will pay off

Liverpool’s press may have waned this season, but a new playmaker Jurgen Klopp could emerge, warranting a massive transfer call.

Given the suspicion that Jurgen Klopp is too loyal to Liverpool players, there is a European model the Reds have benefited from before

Some doubted Thiago Alcântara would stay at the top level following his move to Merseyside from Bayern Munich, but as the club’s best midfielder it’s clear that loyalty and faith in class consistency can pay off – but find the perfect time to do it yourself. with a player in decline can be difficult

It’s a level of cruelty not quite on display during Klopp’s tenure, perhaps no better exemplified than when Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was handed a new contract following the injury he suffered against Roma.

Sure, Liverpool do things differently – and are sometimes forced to do so in a climate where transfer fees rise every year – but could the Reds learn from Julian Nagelsmann?

The Bundesliga champions were never shy about taking on players they felt were outdated, paving the way for the next generation. When Thiago left the Allianz Arena, more minutes were then available for players like Leon Goretzka, who came to the club as one of Germany’s most promising talents since his move to Schalke 04. With Liverpool’s success last season leaving Klopp just two games short of a historic quadruple, it’s clear Thiago wasn’t at his best, but Bayern Munich have normally made the right decisions. He moved on to 30-year-old Bastian Schweinsteiger in 2015 despite him being part of eight Bundesliga wins and one Champions League, with no qualms about sacking Arturo Vidal when he turned 31.

It is unlikely captain Jordan Henderson, who turns 33 in the summer, would be at the club if Liverpool used such a ruthless model. The merits of such an achievement are up for debate, but there are lessons to be learned. The Reds have faced tough situations in recent seasons, relying at times on Tyler Morton and now Stefan Bajčetić to make the switch early in their careers.

This left Liverpool slow in the transfer market at times when it seemed obvious a move was needed. The club have also been observed making hasty decisions under pressure – such as the transfer of Arthur Melo, who has played just 13 minutes this season but is now set to return to first-team training.

While it may be unreasonable to sell players at the first sign of decline, there are times when the Reds could have used the Bayern Munich model. Naby Keïta, despite his quality when fit, was too unreliable during his five-year tenure. And with Oxlade-Chamberlain unable to return to his best form, he could have benefited from a move that would have guaranteed him more starting minutes.

It’s perhaps a noble element that makes Liverpool so special, with the club eyeing a new deal for James Milner but with little activity in the transfer market in their search for a midfielder – and Klopp often comes across his last available options – there are elements of the ruthlessness of the Bayern Munich hierarchy that could have made things easier this season.
