Liverpool’s transfer decisions this summer have been a topic of interest, particularly regarding players they chose not to sign. One notable example is Jude Bellingham, a top target for the Reds. Despite reports of Liverpool’s strong interest and Bellingham’s alleged preference to join the club, the transfer ultimately didn’t materialize.
Why Liverpool Didn’t Sign Jude Bellingham
– Financial Constraints: Liverpool reportedly didn’t have enough funds to complete the transfer, especially after spending £116 million on Florian Wirtz and £40 million on Milos Kerkez.
– Transfer Strategy: The club seems to be focusing on signing multiple players to strengthen their squad rather than splashing out on a single marquee player.
– Alternative Targets: Liverpool has been linked to other talented players, such as Alexander Isak, Rodrygo, and Alexis Mac Allister, who might better fit their transfer strategy and budget ¹ ².
Other Players Liverpool Considered Signing
– Alexander Isak: Liverpool’s “dream signing” according to reports, but Newcastle United’s valuation of £150 million seems steep.
– Rodrygo: A versatile winger from Real Madrid who could complement Liverpool’s attacking lineup.
– Alexis Mac Allister: Brighton & Hove Albion’s midfielder, who is reportedly guaranteed to leave the club this summer.
