      England international Bellingham, 18, announced himself to the world at Euro 2020 with three solid displays for Gareth Southgate’s side.
      He has starred for the Bundesliga giants after arriving from Birmingham last year in a £30million deal.
      Reds boss Jurgen Klopp is a massive fan of the midfielder but faces competition from Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea.
      European heavyweights Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid are also keen — but Dortmund vowed not to sell any time soon.
      Dortmund Sporting Director Sebastian Kehl told Sport1: “There’s a lot of interest around Jude Bellingham, not only Liverpool.
      “But there is no bottom line and no exit clause.”
      Bellingham, a former target of Liverpool’s bitter rivals Manchester United, joined Dortmund from Championship outfit Birmingham City last July for a fee of £25m.

      The lanky teenager immediately hit the ground running, scoring and providing four goals and assists in 46 appearances in all competitions.
      Bellingham carried his good form into the 2021/22 campaign, in which he’s scored three goals and provided seven assists in 15 matches.
      And the England ace is already beloved by the Dortmund brass and fans alike.
      Kehl said: “He is loved, he enjoys that. There are no signs he could leave BVB soon.”
      Despite the likes of United trying to acquire his services, Bellingham believes he made the right decision moving to Germany,
      In May, he said: “For me, it’s all about the feeling that I get from the people and the ambition.
      “People bring up money and all that rubbish but I wouldn’t play for a club that I didn’t genuinely fall in love with. But I felt a strong connection with the people at Dortmund.
      “I think you look at those people [Sancho and Erling Haaland] and think, just the platform they’ve been given to perform really, and that’s all I feel like I needed.

      “I feel like they’re a perfect example of that, and especially Jadon coming from England, he’s been a massive help since I’ve got here so from the first day I knew I’d made the right decision to be honest.
      “You know, I kind of just feel like Germany’s my second home now.”
      Bellingham and his Dortmund team-mates will be back in action on Saturday afternoon, welcoming FC Koln to the Westfalenstadion.

      And he was superb during his first campaign under Marcelo Bielsa, netting eight times and assisting 11 in 38 appearances.
      He has already scored three goals in seven Premier League games this season, picking up where he left off before the summer despite Leeds’ dip in form.

      Speaking to Betfair, he said: “Raphinha performed well on his debut for Brazil, but he was already shining in the Premier League with Leeds United and there are rumours of interest from Liverpool.
      “If he were to make the move, he may not be a regular starter, but I’m sure it would be a big step in his career since it would allow him to compete for titles and play in the Champions League, which could be crucial for more call ups into the Brazilian national team.

      “He has the quality to player for a bigger club.
      “He is playing excellent football and a player always wants more and stronger challenges, so he would benefit from a transfer.”
      Leeds have struggled for results at the start of their 2021-22 campaign, winning just one of their first eight Prem games.

      The former Everton midfielder has also reportedly attracted interest from Newcastle and Burnley. More

      And there is already plenty of speculation surrounding who will be going where in the first few weeks of 2022.
      So SunSport rounds up some of the biggest transfers that could get over the line in January…
      Ollie Watkins or Dominic Calvert-Lewin to Arsenal
      The Gunners need a new striker with Alexandre Lacazette’s contract expiring at the end of the season.

      Donny van de Beek to Everton
      He wanted out of Old Trafford in the summer but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer blocked a last-minute loan to the Toffees.

      Raheem Sterling to Barcelona
      The England winger continues to struggle for game time under Pep Guardiola this term and Barcelona could be set to pounce.

      Christopher Nkunku to Chelsea
      The RB Leipzig midfielder, who scored a hat-trick against Manchester City in September, worked under Thomas Tuchel at PSG and could be reunited with the German.
      The 23-year-old’s agent, Pini Zahavi, has confirmed he is in talks with Chelsea, Man City and Real Madrid over a 2022 switch – but the Blues may swoop and get a deal done early.
      Monaco midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni is also a target but Chelsea face competition from Juventus for his signature.

      Paul Pogba to PSG
      The ongoing saga surrounding Pogba continues with his current Manchester United contract expiring next summer.
      The Red Devils want him to make a decision on his future by Christmas but failure to do so could see the club sell him on the cheap in January rather than lose him for free with PSG ahead of Real Madrid and Juventus in the race.

      Pau Torres to Man City
      That’s right – Manchester City are being linked with yet another centre-back with the Etihad club ‘well positioned’ to land the Villarreal ace.
      United and Tottenham have wanted him in the past but Pep Guardiola likes his compatriot and wants him as further competition for Ruben Dias, Aymeric Laporte, John Stones and Nathan Ake.

      Newcastle’s exciting winger certainly catches the eye with his dazzling runs and trickery – and it has not gone unnoticed at Anfield or Stamford Bridge.
      Liverpool looks the likeliest destination but it would surely take a mammoth bid to convince Mike Ashley to sell one of his best players amid a relegation dogfight.
