Liverpool are gearing up for a major midfield overhaul this summer, and a stunning opportunity might just be opening up for the club to land one of the world's most coveted talents: Jude Bellingham.
The Reds have question marks hanging over two of their current midfield stars. Alexis Mac Allister, now 27, hasn't come close to replicating the form that helped Liverpool clinch the 2024/25 Premier League title, and if a new contract can't be agreed, he could be on the move. Meanwhile, Curtis Jones—whose deal runs until 2027—is also attracting interest from Inter Milan and Aston Villa, making him a potential sacrifice for the right price.
If both were to depart, it would clear the path for a blockbuster signing. According to reports from Spain, Liverpool have once again set their sights on Jude Bellingham. The 22-year-old English midfielder famously chose Real Madrid over Anfield back in 2023 when he left Borussia Dortmund. He hit the ground running in Spain, winning the Champions League in his debut season, but his form has dipped since then. Injuries to his shoulder and hamstring have kept him sidelined at times, and he looks like a player who could benefit from a fresh start.
It's been a tough campaign for Real Madrid, and Spanish outlet Fichajes claims Bellingham is no longer considered "untouchable" at the Bernabéu. Despite being under contract until 2029, Madrid's decision-makers are reportedly open to the possibility of a sale—especially with interest from multiple Premier League clubs.
"The possibility of a sale in the upcoming summer transfer window has gained momentum in recent weeks," the report states. "Liverpool FC appears to have taken the lead. The Anfield club has been following the player for some time and believes his profile is a perfect fit for their project."
Liverpool last revamped their midfield in 2023, bringing in Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo, Ryan Gravenberch, and Mac Allister. But the engine room needs fresh legs again, with other names like Elliot Anderson and Adam Wharton also linked. A move for Bellingham would be the ultimate statement—and with the door suddenly ajar, Liverpool fans have every reason to dream.
