Liverpool are circling for Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham in what could become one of football’s most dramatic transfer sagas, according to Spanish outlet Defensa Central.
The Reds Reignite Their Bellingham Dream
The Merseyside giants haven’t forgotten their original pursuit of the England international. Two years ago, Liverpool were left disappointed when Bellingham snubbed Anfield in favour of the Santiago Bernabéu. His first season in Spain was nothing short of sensational—36 goal contributions in 42 matches proved the doubters wrong.
Last campaign saw similar heroics with 14 goals and 13 assists, but recent weeks have painted a different picture. The 22-year-old has struggled under Xabi Alonso’s tactical setup, facing unprecedented criticism from the notoriously demanding Madrid faithful.
Could Mac Allister Sweeten the Deal?
Here’s where it gets interesting. Liverpool are reportedly willing to offer Alexis Mac Allister as part of a player-plus-cash proposal. While Madrid admire the World Cup winner, they’re reluctant to lose their Birmingham-born star, who still has three-and-a-half years remaining on his £158m-rated contract.
Why Liverpool Need This Move
Arne Slot’s midfield boasts quality, but depth concerns remain. Curtis Jones battles persistent injury issues, whilst Wataru Endo struggles for game time. Bellingham’s versatility—whether as a box-to-box dynamo or advanced playmaker—would provide the tactical flexibility Liverpool crave.
The former Dortmund sensation remains one of football’s brightest young talents despite his current struggles. For Liverpool, this represents a golden opportunity to finally land their long-term target.
Whether the Reds launch a January raid or wait until summer remains uncertain, but one thing’s clear: Liverpool are deadly serious about bringing Jude Bellingham home to England.
