England midfielder Jude Bellingham will not be heading to Liverpool from Borussia Dortmund in the summer according to multiple reports.
The 19-year-old was expected to be Liverpool’s main transfer target, but the Guardian reports the £135million (€153 million) fee would restrict the planned overhaul of Jurgen Klopp’s squad. Manchester City, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are among the clubs linked with a move for the teenager.

Wolves are hopeful of keeping hold of midfielder Ruben Neves, 26, who has been linked with Arsenal and Manchester United. The Sun says Wolves are preparing a fresh contract for the Portuguese.
The sale of Manchester United is poised to enter a third round of bidding, according to the Daily Mail. The Glazer family are reported to be holding out for offers of around £6billion.
