Jude Bellingham's father wants his son to complete a move to Liverpool once this season reaches its conclusion, according to an exciting new transfer update.
The Lowdown: Bellingham set to leave Dortmund?
The midfielder has already become a genuine force as a footballer, despite not yet turning 20, standing out as a key man for Borussia Dortmund and now England.
Bellingham has scored four goals in five Champions League appearances this season and a host of clubs have been linked with signing him after his impressive World Cup campaign in Qatar, with Liverpool right at the top of the list.
This summer likely presents the perfect opportunity for Dortmund to cash in while his stock is at an all time high, at which point there will be a huge battle for his signature.
The Latest: Player's dad wants Liverpool move
According to Football Insider reporter Wayne Veysey, Bellingham's dad, Mark, wants his son to complete a move to Liverpool, seeing them as the best option for the prodigious midfielder.

The report claims that the player himself has 'had his head turned' by Manchester City and Real Madrid, but the Reds are still trying to get a deal over the line after coming close last summer.
The three clubs are 'all working hard behind the scenes on convincing the midfielder to join them'.
The Verdict: Deciding influence?
Bellingham and his father Mark seemingly have an extremely close relationship, so the latter's influence could certainly play a big role in the former's decision this summer.

The teenager looks the perfect signing for Liverpool this year, even if they will have to pay an eye-watering amount to get him, and he could solve their midfield woes that have existed this season.
In fact, it is hard to find any negatives to the move, with Bellingham a long-term superstar who can be a key man from the off and mature into one of the best players in the world.
