    Liverpool are targeting the 19-year-old less than a month before their Champions League round of 16 clash with Madrid.

    Liverpool’s decision to take Bellingham to Merseyside is a potential key to Madrid’s strategy to sign the teenager. He is set to enter the final two years of his contract this summer and Dortmund want him to push through a move as Real Madrid look to avoid a big fee.

    With Bellingham’s suitors vying for a place in the race for his signature, Dortmund are set to offer the midfielder a bargain deal. The eight-time German champions are ready to sign a new three-and-a-half-year contract worth around €15m per season, around €5m more than the extension he was initially offered. Such a deal would make Bellingham the highest-paid player in Dortmund’s history.
