Liverpool have been interested in Jude Bellingham for a long time. This time though the teenager looks close to signing with the Reds than he was before. The signing of Gakpo will have no effect on the signing of Bellingham whatsoever. But the steep price of £100m for Bellingham might suggest that the deal have to wait till next summer. World Cup winner Enzo Fernandes is another name that has popped up in this transfer saga. The 21-year is believed to have captured the attention of Liverpool with his brilliant performance at the World Cup. However, Klopp may face the same hurdles as they faced with Jude Bellingham. Benfica have confirmed that they have no intentions of selling the player this season. This would mean the Reds have to buy him out of his contract with his release clause being £106m.

The North Macedonian player could be the best option for Liverpool at the moment. It now remains to be seen whether any concrete action is taken after the phone call by Klopp for the player or not.
