Liverpool are looking for the Dortmund core this summer
During this summer's transfer window, Liverpool are likely to go all out for Dortmund's midfielder Bellingham. The 18-year-old has had an impressive performance for the Hornets in 2021-22, making 41 appearances in all competitions, contributing six goals and 13 assists. Bellingham is still more than three years away from his current contract, but there is a lot of speculation about his future at the moment, with many of the world's biggest clubs wanting to sign him. According to European media, Liverpool plan to bring in a new midfielder during this summer's transfer window and see Bellingham as an ideal takeover. Monaco's Chuameini is also on the Reds' radar as head coach Klopp wants to increase his options for the 2022-23 season, the report said. Borussia Dortmund is said to be valuing Bellingham at around 100 million euros, but a recent report said the Bundesliga side had no interest in selling Bellingham in the upcoming market. The teenager has scored 10 goals and assisted 17 times in 87 games since coming to Borussia Dortmund from Birmingham in July 2020.
United missed out on the red striker two years ago
Dortmund CEO Vátsk revealed that Haaland was very close to joining Manchester United from Red Bull Salzburg in January 2020. During Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's helm, the Reds had close ties to Haaland, and the Premier League giants were once considered in a favorable position to sign Haaland. Dortmund eventually secured the Norway international, with Vátsk revealing that the German club's decision to include a termination clause in the deal meant they were able to bring him to the club. "We gave Haaland a termination clause ... Otherwise he would go to Manchester United," the head of the Bundesliga team said in an interview. Haaland is on track to leave Borussia Dortmund for £67m this summer, with Manchester City, Real Madrid and Barcelona all looking to compete for his signing. The 21-year-old made 27 appearances for the Hornets in 2021-22, scoring 25 goals and assisting eight times, despite his struggles with injuries. In his 27 games for Salzburg, he has scored a total of 29 goals and seven assists, and since coming to the Bundesliga he has scored 82 goals in 86 games, providing 23 assists.
The U.S. international decided to stay at Barca
Destin is reportedly expected to remain at Barca this summer, although he has been closely linked to transfers from the Catalan giants over the past few months. The U.S. international is believed to have come under the radar of several clubs in January, with Barcelona boss Xavi allegedly not seeing him as part of the team's plans. However, according to British media reports, Harvey was impressed by Durst's performance this year and now he wants to stay at Camp Nou for a long time. The 21-year-old, who moved from Ajax to La Liga in October 2020, has allegedly been told he is part of the club's plans for the 2022-23 season. Durst has struggled to fix some injuries this season but still made 31 appearances in all competitions, contributing three assists in the process. However, the right-back had another hamstring problem in his 1-0 loss to Rayo Vallecano on 24 April and is now expected to miss the rest of the season.
