      Dortmund will likely command a huge fee with Bellingham’s contract not expiring until 2025.
      And Liverpool are now confident they can break free from the chasing pack and make the marquee signing, according to the Mail.
      But much could depend on how the Reds finish the season.
      Jurgen Klopp’s side have finally found some form, especially after Sunday’s demolition of Manchester United.

      If Liverpool can finish in the top four, that could be a big factor for Bellingham.
      He has played in the Champions League in the last three seasons, with this campaign coming to an end on a frustrating night at Stamford Bridge earlier this week.
      Other clubs interested in Bellingham, including Real Madrid and Manchester City will almost certainly be able to offer games in Europe’s top competition next season so the stakes are high for Liverpool.
      After four wins in five league games, they sit 5th in the table, three points behind Tottenham with a game in hand.

      Liverpool legend Carragher, grinning from ear to ear, replied: “I hope so.”
      Bellingham, who is set to cost around £100million, is widely regarded as one of the hottest young talents in European football.

      And they could use his potential arrival as extra motivation to secure Champions League football next season.
      Liverpool sit fifth in the Premier League table and will move into the top four if they win their game in hand.
      Speaking about Bellingham back in December, Klopp said: “I don’t like to talk about money when you talk about a player like him. Everyone can see he is just exceptional.
      “If you mention to someone who has no clue about football, or who knows about football and has not watched it for a while (and ask) ‘How old do you think Jude Bellingham is?’, I don’t think anyone would get even close to his age.
      “They would say 28 or 29 because he plays so maturely. He played an exceptional World Cup. Absolutely exceptional.
      “With all the things he has and things he can improve, to describe him I would say the things he can do are difficult to learn, and the things he can improve are easy to learn.
      “So, yes, he is a really good player. What can I say? I have thought that already for two or three years since he had his breakthrough at Dortmund.
      “Everybody knew already but I have no idea what that means for the money side of it.
      “I really think if we all want to do him a favour then we do not talk too much about money. I mean that from an England point of view. Do not throw any hurdles in his development.” More

      With Newcastle and Tottenham losing this weekend, the top four race might have swung back in the Reds’ favour.
      Liverpool fans were convinced during the World Cup that Bellingham had an eye on their club rather than the likes of Man City and Real Madrid.

      And on the pitch his stock rose even higher in Qatar with his stunning performances for England not going unnoticed.
      He has also been impressive since club football restarted with his Dortmund side enjoying fantastic form ahead of their trip to Chelsea in the Champions League. More

      And a banner from a plane above Anfield on Sunday afternoon read: “FSG out – Klopp In –  Enough is Enough.”
      The mood would have been lifted somewhat by a tremendous display which saw the Reds inflict a 7-0 hammering on their fierce rivals.

      “If I’m a player, say Jude Bellingham or Declan Rice – two of the most in-demand English midfielders that may get moves this summer – and someone says, ‘Manchester United or Liverpool, where are you going?’, forget my Manchester United ties, I have to go with United right now.
      “The way the team looks, the way the squad is shaping up, the way the managers are navigating their teams’ fortunes and who I see being more successful in the upcoming future – I really would be sitting on the side of United.”
