Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that Liverpool do have an interest in Borussia Dortmund ace Jude Bellingham.

Real Madrid do have an interest in Bellingham, and are willing to rival Liverpool for his signature.

Klopp has confirmed interest in Bellingham, although he insists there has been no contact with the midfielder or his agents.

He told BILD: “Jude is a great player who we know, of course.

“We’d be stupid not to have him on our radar. But there’s nothing more to say at the moment.

“These things (talking directly to Bellingham’s parents) are not possible because he is under contract with Borussia Dortmund and that is not possible without their consent. So, it’s not true.”

Meanwhile, Bellingham is expected to cost over £100m.
