Liverpool reconsider transfer targets as they drop out of the competition for Jude Bellingham, focusing on Declan Rice and Moises Caicedo.

Liverpool is on the lookout for midfield reinforcements and has Declan Rice and Moises Caicedo on its shortlist of Jude Bellingham alternatives, according to Sky Germany. The club has ended its pursuit of the teenage midfielder due to Borussia Dortmund’s £100m asking price. Liverpool believes that investing such a large amount in just one player is not a wise strategy to fix the drop-off in form they’ve experienced this season. Along with Rice and Caicedo, the Reds are targeting at least two new midfielders from Inter’s Nicolo Barella, Wolves’ Matheus Nunes, and Bayern Munich’s Ryan Gravenberch. Jurgen Klopp has publicly stated that the club will improve their on-field chances with smart recruitment, but emphasizes that this is not the time to focus on the title plan. Melissa Reddy questions whether Liverpool hung on to the idea of signing Jude Bellingham for too long with their interest appearing to be over.
