wontumionlineSportsJude Bellingham, LIVERPOOL

Liverpool will not pursue a move for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham this summer because of the money involved. The 19-year-old has been heavily linked with the Reds but any move for the England international could cost in excess of £100m at least.

Their struggles this season have seen manager Jurgen Klopp state there will be changes at the club in the summer and the German…
