“We are in a good relationship with Jurgen” – Dortmund respond to Liverpool-Jude Bellingham reports

“We are in a good relationship with Jurgen” – Dortmund respond to Liverpool-Jude Bellingham reports

Borussia Dortmund has informed Liverpool that there will be no “gifts” in their pursuit of midfielder Jude Bellingham.

Because Jurgen Klopp, the former manager of the Bundesliga team, is now in charge at Anfield, the two teams get along well.

That won’t mean much, though, if Liverpool moves forward with a deal for the England international who is thought to be their top summer transfer target.

“We have a high sympathy for Liverpool for sure. We are still in a good relationship with Jurgen and many others at Liverpool, so for me, it’s my preferred club in the EPL as well,” Dortmund’s managing director Carsten Cramer told Vietnam News during the club’s tour to Asia.

“But don’t expect that we will make gifts to Liverpool.

“Maybe there is a success existing between Jude Bellingham and (England’s) success in the World Cup.

“He has a contract (until 2025). I’m a sales person regarding commercial business, but not regarding the player’s business.

“We are happy to have him on board 100 per cent and the longer Jude will play for us, the better it will be.”
