Liverpool's 'small advantage' over Madrid in Bellingham race named

Reporter Jan Aage Fjortoft has shared an update on Liverpool's pursuit of Jude Bellingham. The Reds are said to be interested in landing the England international next summer.

"Bellingham [is the] first priority at Real Madrid and Liverpool," Flortoft tweeted.

"The relationship between Klopp and Dortmund will of course be a small advantage for Liverpool (verbal pre-agreement?).

"And Dortmund will of course fight as a lion to keep him. He is the soul of their team."

Klopp managed Dortmund for seven years before taking charge of Liverpool in 2015.
