LIVERPOOL have been dealt a blow in their pursuit of Jude Bellingham with the midfielder considering staying at Borussia Dortmund, according to reports.
There has been plenty of speculation about the England star’s future.
Several high profile clubs have been linked to Bellingham including Chelsea and Real Madrid.
But according to journalist Kevin Hatchard no club has a plan in place to lure Bellingham away from Dortmund.
The 19-year-old has impressed this season and could even stay at the German giants despite the mounting interest.
Dortmund offer Bellingham a guarantee of regular football and are set to progress in the Champions League, which should appeal to the wonderkid.
The former Birmingham City star is also valued highly by Dortmund boss Edin Terzic, who revealed Bellingham is happy where he is.
Terzic also believes Bellingham will be a key part of the England midfield for years to come and has tipped him to be a big hit at the World Cup.
Success with England will see interest in Bellingham soar with Manchester United already believed to be keeping tabs.
United invited Bellingham to their training ground for talks before he moved to Germany and with Erik ten Hag aiming to improve his midfield a bid could be on the cards.

Manchester City are also considering a move for Bellingham with his former team-mate Erling Haaland telling him to complete the switch.
Bellingham’s contract runs out in June 2025 and Dortmund are trying to tie him down to a new deal.
