481 Liverpool and Manchester United are the two clubs pushing the most to sign Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund.
Writing in his newsletter for The Independent, journalist Miguel Delaney believes that Bellingham is the most sought after player in the world.
He says that reigning Premier League champions Manchester City are tracking the situation but not making as much of the running right now.
Graham Potter’s Chelsea are also in the mix, but taking a back seat as it stands, although you suspect Todd Boehly would love to win the race for Bellingham.

Liverpool pushing most for Bellingham
He wrote: “Jude Bellingham is rapidly emerging into the most sought-after player in the world, let alone one of the most promising midfielder. Whoever gets him knows they will have their midfield sorted for more than a decade.
“It’s just that his ability is so outsized that the pursuit of him is going to involve a lot of ins and outs. Those interested now may not be the club who end up with him.
“Hence everyone involved is saying that Liverpool and Manchester United are currently the two clubs making the most contact, but there is caution they will get him. Manchester City are monitoring. Chelsea are assessing. Much depends on who is in the best shape for the next few years by the time Bellingham makes his decision.
“There’s also another angle to this. Borussia Dortmund would rather do a deal cleanly – especially with the World Cup effect, and how the 19-year-old’s value could explode.”
Bellingham scored for the fourth Champions League game in a row last night, becoming the first teenage midfielder in history to do that.
Bellingham also now has twice as many Champions League goals than any other English teenager in history with six and he is only just getting started.
His talent seemingly has no limits and that is why it will be such a keenly contested race for his services in the summer, with Liverpool and United trying to get their groundwork done early.
