# Liverpool: Reds trying to get Jude Bellingham deal done ‘now’

**[Liverpool](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/) are reportedly trying to get a deal over the line for Jude Bellingham ‘now’.**

### The Lowdown: Interest there

Liverpool’s interest in Bellingham has been [widely reported](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/liverpool-reporter-shares-promising-bellingham-transfer-news/), as they look to bring in an elite central midfielder for next season.

They have also been linked with FIFA World Cup stars [Sofyan Amrabat](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/liverpool-sofyan-amrabat-transfer-news-premier-league/) and [Enzo Fernandez](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/benfica-transfer-news-fernandez-argentina-world-cup/), who are sure to attract plenty of attention following impressive runs with Morocco and Argentina respectively.

### The Latest: Bellingham update

Taking to Twitter, journalist [Kevin Palmer](https://twitter.com/RealKevinPalmer/status/1602400378791890944) has revealed that the Anfield outfit are trying to get a deal for Bellingham done ‘now’, and are in ‘pole position’ for his signature:

*“Liverpool are in pole position to sign Jude Bellingham and are trying to get the deal over the line NOW. It would be a real statement signing.”*

Palmer [added](https://twitter.com/RealKevinPalmer/status/1602408867597799425) that the deal would be for next summer, but the Merseyside club are ‘eager’ to try and push through their status as ‘leading contenders’:

### The Verdict: Exciting

The fact that Jurgen Klopp’s side are trying to push through a deal for Bellingham now will come as exciting news for Reds supporters.

With Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and James Milner’s contracts expiring [this summer](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-liverpool/vertragsende/verein/31), and Jordan Henderson (32) and Thiago (31) in their 30’s, Liverpool are in desperate need of a revamp in the middle of the park, and Bellingham (19) has the potential to be a mainstay in the side for the next decade.

The central midfielder was England’s second-best performer at the World Cup in Qatar, scoring one goal and making one assist, and picking up one man-of-the-match award on their way to making the quarter-finals ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/345/Show/England-England)).

At Borussia Dortmund, he managed an impressive nine goals and three assists from midfield before the break ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/379868/Show/Jude-Bellingham)), and seems to be growing in stature every game he plays at the highest level.

Nonetheless, even if they have to wait until the summer, what a signing Bellingham would be for the Reds.
