150 million for a Bellingham that Liverpool could have signed for 10,000 euros!

When Bellingham was playing in Birmingham's youth teams, Liverpool were interested in the midfielder. He was not even ten years old at the time.

'The Athletic' claims that Liverpool tried to sign Bellingham at the time. The club took advantage of a trip to Merseyside with his parents to invite him to spend a few days at Kirkby's academy.

Liverpool were impressed by the level shown by Bellingham at the time. The Reds proposed to his family that he should move to London. They made a proposal to the player's parents.

For around 10,000 euros, Liverpool tried to sign Bellingham. No luck... His parents refused and he stayed at Birmingham. At that time, adds the source, City and Chelsea were also interested in the midfielder's situation.

Almost 10 years have passed since then, but the Reds have not removed his name from their shortlist. The problem is that, as Liverpool expected, his price has gone through the roof.

Borussia Dortmund are asking 150 million for a player they could have signed for as little as 10,000 euros. If they go for him next summer, they know they will have to dig deep into their pocket.
