Overview
- Spanish outlet Fichajes, echoed by UK sites, reports Liverpool are prepared to offer €180m (£156m) for Bellingham in the summer.
- The figure would set a new British transfer record and top Liverpool’s £125m club record paid for Alexander Isak in 2025.
- Coverage notes Real Madrid are described as unwilling to entertain a sale, with Bellingham viewed as central to their long-term plans.
- Reports attribute to club president Florentino Pérez the belief that Bellingham’s sporting value outweighs any offer at that level.
- Liverpool’s recent shift to heavy spending, including signings such as Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike and over £400m outlay, frames the reported intent to land a long-term midfield leader.
