Liverpool make Jude Bellingham transfer 'decision' as Juventus star 'eyes' Anfield move

Sadio Mane's move to Bayern Munich was confirmed on Wednesday afternoon as Liverpool said goodbye to a player that has brought so much happiness and success to the club since his arrival from Southampton six years ago.

The Reds have been busy in the transfer market this week with regards to outgoings as they have also agreed a fee with Monaco over the transfer of Takumi Minamino in a deal that could rise to £15.5m. Neco Williams and Nat Phillips have been linked with moves away from Anfield, too.

But what about incomings? It is the ECHO's understanding that Liverpool are done on that front for this summer. But things can always change in the transfer window.

What?

Journalist Fabrizio Romano has indicated that Liverpool will be in the running for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham next summer.

The 18-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Anfield in recent weeks as a result of his incredible performances since he moved to the Bundesliga in the summer of 2020.

And now, Romano has revealed that the Reds, along with a whole host of Europe's top clubs, will wait until next summer to make a move for the former Birmingham City scholar.

He said: "I think Jude Bellingham will stay at Borussia Dortmund this summer. I really have no doubts about that. Dortmund are convinced the player will stay and he is ready to stay. I see no problems between the two parties.

"I'm sure Liverpool will get in the running for Jude Bellingham next summer."

He added: "Let's wait and see what Borussia Dortmund plans for next summer. But Liverpool will be in the running for him. And not just Liverpool. Because all top clubs, not only from England but also from Spain, are watching the situation around Jude Bellingham. I'm sure when the moment comes Liverpool will be there."

Who?

Adrien Rabiot

Where?

The Telegraph

What?

The Telegraph has claimed Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot is interested in joining Liverpool this summer as he looks to end his three-year stay at the Italian giants.

The former PSG midfielder is believed to favour a move to a Premier League club that can offer him Champions League football, thus favouring either Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham or Jurgen Klopp's side.

The 27-year-old has one year left on his contract in Turin.

Who?

Neco Williams

Where?

The Telegraph

What?

The Telegraph is also reporting that Neco Williams is close to completing a £15m to newly-promoted Nottingham Forest this summer, with Steve Cooper's side ahead of Fulham in the pursuit for the Wales international.

Williams, who is a graduate of the Liverpool academy, has found it difficult to break into the Reds' first-team in recent seasons due to the immense Trent Alexander-Arnold having the right-back spot nailed down.

With that in mind, the 21-year-old headed out to Fulham on loan for the second half of last season and was largely impressive as he helped Marco Silva's side seal an instant return to the Premier League.

The report claims Forest are currently in talks for the defender as they look to get a deal over the line.
