Star told to join Liverpool – Klopp told to sign Frenchman – Potential signing will be superstar – Reds told

Here is a roundup of the top Liverpool news and gossip from icfootballnews that we think you may have missed –

Barcelona star and Chelsea target Frenkie De Jong has admitted that he has been told to sign for Liverpool.

Barcelona are said to have been scanning the market to replace Sergio Busquets in the middle of the park and have reportedly settled on Jorginho, who has played a crucial role for Chelsea since arriving from Napoli in the summer of 2018.

His future has been the subject of speculation – but it has been claimed in recent days that a pre-agreement has been reached with the Spaniards should the star fail to agree a contract at Stamford Bridge

And if you believe the latest  reports from England  – Frenkie De Jong is one player that they may be looking to try and sign

De Jong, meanwhile, is currently on international duty with the Netherlands, who are out in Qatar with their opening World Cup match against Senegal on Monday.

‘One guy told me I had to join Liverpool! We loved doing this, but now the focus goes to Senegal.’

Liverpool failed to sign a midfielder on a permanent basis last summer and had to settle for the loan capture of Arthur Melo – but are once again keen on a deal.

If De Jong stays put and tries to fight for his place in that Barca squad – it could ruin his career as they simply do not want him

But surely a move to Liverpool would not be a bad decision?

Bellingham claim made – 

Liverpool icon Steven Gerrard has backed transfer target Jude Bellingham to become a superstar of the game

Ever since his move to Borussia Dortmund just a few seasons ago – Bellingham has devloped into  classy midfielder and a man that Chelsea are keen to try and sign – if you believe all the reports.

It has been claimed that he will not come cheap though  – as the likes of Liverpool will have to splash close to £130 million to try and get a deal done.

That will be money well spent if Gerrard’s opinion is anything to go by, with the former England midfielder a ‘massive fan’ of Bellingham and expecting him to be a ‘superstar’ over the next decade.

‘I think for the viewers watching this World Cup, there’s a massive opportunity to enjoy a massive pool of players from different countries,’ the Liverpool legend told Sky Sports.

‘I’ve competed against a lot of these players, your Messi’s and Ronaldo’s of this world. They’ll be the two big names with a lot of focus, but the tournament’s going to be littered with high class players.

‘I’ll be focusing my attention on England, I’m really excited to watch Jude Bellingham, I’m a massive fan of him.

“I think the next 10 or 15 years, he’s going to become an England superstar.
