But they have performed well below expectations.

Liverpool have failed to build any momentum and are currently sixth having accumulated just 28 points from their opening 17 games.

Their hopes of winning their second Premier League title are effectively over as they 16 points adrift of Arsenal in first.

Liverpool could miss out on a Champions League berth, too. They are seven points behind Manchester United in the race for the top four.

Could Jude Bellingham join Liverpool?

Liverpool need to strengthen all over the pitch, but their biggest need is in the centre of midfield.

One player they have been heavily linked to is Borussia Dortmund and England star, Jude Bellingham.

Real Madrid battling Liverpool for Jude Bellingham’s signature

Bellingham will be a wanted man this summer with some of the world’s top clubs all interested.

According to Spanish journalist Guillem Balague, it is Real Madrid who are favourites.

Speaking to ITV Sport, Balague said, per BirminghamLive: “[Real] are favourites, quite clearly. Borussia Dortmund have to have a conversation with the player, and with his dad, who is key to the solution of this situation.

“They’ve always been very aware about where to place him, and where to place him next. He is ready for Real Madrid. Real Madrid are ready for him.

“The price is about €100m plus €40m depending on certain bonuses (£125m in total). Real Madrid are saying, ‘yeah, not a problem’. But we know that there are other clubs that want him.

“I do think Real Madrid are favourites, and as Gaizka [Mendieta, fellow pundit and ex-Barcelona star] said, it fits what Real Madrid are doing, and what Jude is doing next. Remember, he’s only 19.”
