Liverpool pull out of Jude Bellingham race – to target his international team-mate: report

FOURFOURTWO

Liverpool have wanted Jude Bellingham all season long – but now one report says that they have all but given up hope of signing him.

iverpool have given up on their pursuit of Jude Bellingham altogether – and have turned to their Plan B.

That’s according to one report that states the riches of Manchester City and Real Madrid have led the Reds to abandon their plan to bring the England teen to Anfield. On Monday morning, David Ornstein

wrote that Liverpool were ever more “unlikely” to bring the starlet to the club.

But French outlet FootMercato have gone a step further, claiming that Liverpool are “pulling out” of the race.

The report states that instead, Liverpool will move for the much more attainable Mason Mount of Chelsea, who transfer guru Fabrizio Romano says is “very likely that he will leave”.

Mount has recently appointed a new agent – and as FFT suggested early in March, signing the 24-year-old would allow the Reds to reinvest across the team.
