Liverpool told to ‘look at Jadon Sancho’ after transfer update – pundit
Paul Robinson has claimed there is “no chance” of Liverpool using Tyler Morton as a sweetener in a deal for Jude Bellingham.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the ex-Premier League goalkeeper said Borussia Dortmund will want cash only for Bellingham, 19, similar to the sale of Jadon Sancho to Man United.
Europe’s biggest club are racing to sign Bellingham next year.
Sources told Football Insider on Thursday (19 November) that the Reds are willing to commit a huge sum to secure the England international’s signature.
Jurgen Klopp’s side are desperate for midfield reinforcements ahead of the January transfer window.
As reported by the Daily Mail (13 November), Borussia Dortmund are interested in Liverpool’s midfield talent Tyler Morton.
When asked by Football Insider if the 20-year-old could be used as a makeweight in a deal for Bellingham, Robinson issued a two-word verdict: “No chance.
“Borussia Dortmund will not be interested in any other than a huge financial package. Look at the Jadon Sancho deal for example.
“Bellingham will have an eye on the Premier League I’m sure. He will want to play in England.
“Liverpool look like the frontrunners. If they want to get the deal done they are going to have to cough up a huge sum.
“Yes, they can offer Dortmund players like Tyler Morton but I cannot see that having any impact on the finances of the deal.
“Dortmund’s business model is reliant on getting top fees for their young talent. It will be no different with Bellingham.”
