Liverpool have abandoned their pursuit of Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham after determining it no longer makes financial sense. With plans to rebuild their midfield in the summer, adding Bellingham was seen as too costly, especially with several senior players out of contract. Borussia Dortmund’s decision

Borussia Dortmund are unwilling to part with their star young prodigy Jude Bellingham during the summer transfer window, despite interest from Premier League rivals Liverpool and Manchester United. The Germany club have stated that they intend to keep him beyond his current contract which expires in 2025.

According to a new report, they can afford this if he signs a contract extension that would pay him PS180-000 per week. However, The Daily Star suggests he is likely set to reject this offer.

Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City are all interested in signing the 19-year-old. According to German journalist Jan Aage Fjortoft, there is a 50 percent chance Bellingham will stay with the Bundesliga club.

Liverpool are still interested in signing England international Jordan Henderson, but they may need to pay an astronomical price in order to secure his signature. This comes as a huge blow for Jurgen Klopp who has already stated that he plans on re-building his team next season and believes spending PS100 million on one player isn't necessary.

After a disastrous season, the Reds now require an extensive midfield rebuild. And if they fail to qualify for next year's Champions League, their owners could be forced to dig deep into their pockets in order to finance necessary transfer activity.

That means they need to acquire players capable of playing in a wide-ranging, orthodox midfield; unfortunately, signing an expensive name like Bellingham could take up much of their summer transfer budget if agents' fees and wages are included. At present, this strategy does not seem feasible at this stage.

Liverpool have now reportedly abandoned their pursuit of the 19-year-old, as The Times reports. As they realize that spending a large chunk of this summer's funds on one player is not the right strategy, they have created an alternative list of targets instead.

Jurgen Klopp has long been linked with Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham, and the Reds have been heavily pursuing him ever since his arrival in Germany. But after months of negotiations, Liverpool have now reportedly decided against further pursuit of Bellingham and instead focus on other targets as they continue to revamp their midfield. Liverpool have apparently ended their pursuit of Bellingham due to the high transfer fee they would need to pay Dortmund, The Times reports. The 19-year-old is under contract at Dortmund until 2025 and it is believed that Dortmund are seeking in excess of PS100m in compensation.

Liverpool have suffered a huge setback by not signing Bellingham, who they had hoped to bolster their midfield and boost their chances of qualifying for next season's Champions League. But, failure to secure Bellingham could open the door for other top European clubs to take advantage of his growing reputation and sign him.

Liverpool have expressed a desire to add new players after having an uneventful start to the season. This strategy could prove fruitful as they seek to close in on the top four after winning two straight matches prior to the World Cup.

Jurgen Klopp has a range of options available as he searches to add players to his midfield squad. Though speculation has swirled around about taking Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham on loan, Jurgen Klopp is considering other options as well. Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha, Wolves forward Ruben Neves and Inter Milan forward Nicolo Barella are all potential targets for Liverpool. While all three players possess high ratings in their respective leagues, their lack of senior experience may present a problem.
