Jude Bellingham has been advised to snub a move to Liverpool this summer with a message involving Jadon Sancho.
The Reds continue to be heavily linked with a move for the Borussia Dortmund midfielder this summer. Jurgen Klopp and the Anfield hierarchy are well known to be admirers of Bellingham, but it remains to be seen if the player will be on Merseyside for next season.
Bellingham is contracted to Dortmund until 2025, and is likely to cost a fee in excess of £100m in order for the German club to part ways with his services. He signed for Dortmund from Birmingham City in 2020 in a deal worth £25m.

However, Bellingham has now been told by a Bayern Munich legend to snub any transfers away from Dortmund. Stefan Effenberg has urged Bellingham not to sign for a new club this summer, and used Sancho as a reason why.
Sancho was heavily linked with a move to Liverpool during the summer of 2021. He eventually left Dortmund to sign for Manchester United in a deal worth £73m, but has scored just 10 goals in 61 appearances for the Old Trafford club.
“I would advise Bellingham to stay in Dortmund, he is still young and can still sign three, four top contracts in the future,” Effenberg told German news outlet Sport1.
“I also think, unlike Haaland, Bellingham has a strong connection with BVB. He gets total support and trust.
“Therefore, I hope for his own development that he decides to stay. And there is no guarantee elsewhere either. Sancho is the best example of this.”
