The full bullsh*t from Northcroft if anyone can be arsed reading it?
However, Bellingham’s rapid development during a campaign in which he has become the Dortmund captain and starred at a World Cup — at a tender 19 — has redrawn his value and two clubs of a higher spending power, Manchester City and Real Madrid, are now strongly in the fray.
With Manchester United interested and Paris Saint-Germain (despite reports) also considered to be keen, Dortmund can anticipate an auction. Bellingham has no buyout clause and his price is expected to be north of £130 million once fees are factored in. However, his destination will be Bellingham’s choice, not his club’s. It is understood that he would rather stay at Dortmund and reassess in 2024 than be pushed towards a move that’s not absolutely right for him.
In further contrast to perceptions, there was never any indication that he preferred Liverpool. His father, Mark, is a Liverpool fan, but the player and his family have plotted his career to date flawlessly by taking all factors other than what is best for his development out of the equation. So, with no special levers to make the deal happen, Liverpool pulled out to avoid the risk of allocating a huge chunk of their budget and summer to a bidding war they were not favourites to win.

Michael Edwards was in a garden centre when he took the call telling him that Liverpool would have to break a world transfer record for Virgil van Dijk. He waswww.thetimes.co.uk
They write it as fact! At the start of these guess work articles there should be a disclaimer of this is my opinion of what might happen.

To be fair, all that sounds about right and the stuff about Liverpool obviously not having any direct line to him (despite some of the giddy press reports) seems like a sensible enough reading of the situation.The full bullsh*t from Northcroft if anyone can be arsed reading it?

How does this idiot know that Bellingham wasn't talking about the Dippers & Real "IF" he said he'd rather stay at Dortmund for another season, rather than make the wrong career move?The full bullsh*t from Northcroft if anyone can be arsed reading it?

When did he mention City as this clown's intimating? \0/
The continual story, if anyone believed it, was Klopp had been speaking to Bellingham and his family, and because of this and other things, his preference was Liverpool over City and Real Madrid.
Northcroft.

So, either Northcroft is a bullsh*tter or the other journalists who were running with that story are bullshitters?
Northcroft going down the Barcelona route.
So, with no special levers to make the deal happen.
Why doesn’t Northcroft explain what these (Liverpool) ‘special levers’ are, if he knows what they are?

I can just imagine the "Jude Bellingham's First Day" video being posted on the City channel.
Jude's just being given a tour of the area and the car pulls up outside the CFA.
Suddenly, there's a knock on the window...
