Bellingham is the hottest transfer property on the summer market, with a host of Europe’s biggest clubs interested in signing him.

Until now, Liverpool have been considered by many sources as favourites for Bellingham due to their excellent relationship with the player and his family.

Bellingham is also close friends with Liverpool duo Jordan Henderson and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

And Alexander-Arnold has further fuelled talk of a summer move when asked about the midfielder’s future.

What did Alexander-Arnold say about Bellingham?

"He's an incredible player, especially for his age," Trent told JOE.

"I think, deep down, only he knows his ceiling. I think there isn't really one.

“He can achieve what he wants to. He's got everything he needs to go and do that. He's one of those players that you just enjoy watching, enjoy seeing.

“The sky's the limit for him - he's an incredible player and an incredible person."

Which clubs want to sign Jude Bellingham?

Liverpool will be challenged by a host of Europe’s biggest clubs for the teenage Englishman.

Real Madrid have also made Bellingham their number one midfield target for the summer.

Chelsea and Man City are also interested, while Man Utd cannot be ruled out.

Bellingham was one of the young stars of the 2022 World Cup, scoring one, assisting one and being arguably England’s best player as they reached the quarter-finals.

Dortmund are expected to sell their star man this summer, having decided against losing him in 2022 during the same window that they lost Erling Haaland to Man City for €60m.

It had been expected that Bellingham would cost over €100m for whichever club does sign him, with some reports quoting his asking price as high as €150m.

His contract expires in 2024, making a summer transfer likely unless he signs a new contract.
