The young bundesliga midfielder is praised by Jurgen Klopp, who regrets that he will not be available this summer.

A midfielder transfer during the current transfer window has been ruled out by Klopp.

However, the Liverpool manager made it apparent that he admired Bellingham, a young English star, and made the cheeky admission that Bellingham’s lack of availability was his first issue. The main issue with that player, obviously!

In order to bolster his midfield this summer, Klopp has long been rumored to add a new player, but with Dortmund Bellingham unavailable, it is obvious that the Reds manager is content to wait. He said he has enough of choices in his current group and that he is not under any need to add another high-profile player before the transfer window ends at the end of August.

Dortmund have made it quite clear that they have no desire to entertain bids for Bellingham in the current window after losing Haaland to City, who activated his £51 million release clause, in one of the most high-profile transactions of this summer. Sport Bild asserts that this stance will probably alter the next year.

The 19-year-old still has three years left on his current contract, according to the German site, and Dortmund will only start thinking about letting him depart in the summer of 2023. Given that Bellingham has been a longtime favorite of Liverpool, who are poised to strengthen their midfield in the upcoming summer, an assault in one year seems more plausible than not.

Dortmund are reportedly refusing to start talks with interested teams unless they make an offer in the neighborhood of £104 million, which is roughly comparable to €120 million. Given the young player’s extensive club experience in the Bundesliga, Champions League, and on the international stage with England, it is believed the price isn’t entirely excessive.

However, despite the young midfielder having garnered plenty of admirers from across Europe, reports in German suggest no club has expressed any official interest. That is expected to change over the coming months.

Bellingham has seen his profile skyrocket after leaving his beloved Blues for Dortmund in a £25 million trade back in the summer of 2020. The kid has established himself as one of the most highly regarded young talents on the continent and has been a mainstay in the middle of the midfield for the Bundesliga team.

Bellingham recently declined to be dragged into speculation about his future, claiming that continuing to improve as a player is still his top goal, despite significant chatter that a move back to English shores could be in the works this summer. He stated to The Times: “You essentially make it up as you go. If I put in the effort, I can probably determine my own development and destiny.”

In 89 games for Dortmund, Bellingham has scored 10 goals and provided another 18 assists. The midfield maestro has also made no secret of his adoration for Jordan Henderson and Steven Gerrard, which has fueled rumors that he would join Liverpool.
