Jude Bellingham cost $150 million, but Liverpool could have signed him for just 10,000 euros!
Borussia Dortmund intends to profit from Jude Bellingham's sale. One of the clubs with interest is Liverpool. They have reportedly been paying careful attention to the midfielder for almost ten years, according to "The Athletic." In fact, they were able to sign him for under 10,000 euros when he was a youngster.
Liverpool had an interest in Bellingham when he was playing for Birmingham's junior squads. At the time, he hadn't even turned ten.
Liverpool allegedly wanted to sign Bellingham at the time, according to "The Athletic." The team invited him to spend a few days at Kirkby's academy while his parents were visiting Merseyside.
Liverpool were taken aback by the level Bellingham was performing at the moment. The Reds suggested that he relocate to London to his family. They presented the player's parents with a suggestion.
Liverpool attempted to acquire Bellingham for about 10,000 euros. No joy... Because his parents balked, he remained in Birmingham. According to the source, City and Chelsea were also concerned about the midfielder's predicament at the time.
Since then, almost ten years have gone, yet the Reds have kept his name on their shortlist. The issue is that, as Liverpool anticipated, his price has skyrocketed.
For a player they might have acquired for as low as 10,000 euros, Borussia Dortmund is demanding 150 million euros. They are aware that they will need to spend a significant amount of money if they pursue him next summer.
