Even sitting so far away on Mars, it’s easy to see that Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham is Liverpool’s number one transfer target. this summer
For a long time, Bellingham was seen as a key piece in Jurgen Klopp’s new squad, who are frustrated by the appalling drop in performance of the squad. Phaya Swan this season
One important source that makes the “red swan” not as majestic as before is the midfield panel that has clearly decreased efficiency and packed with brittle-boned players such as Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Arthur Melo, as well as fellows Jordan Henderson and James Mi. Laner
Therefore, the addition of new blood players And the quality of Bellingham is absolutely necessary for the top team at Anfield.
However, the story between Liverpool and Bellingham is not strewn with rose petals like in the 10-baht romance novel when Dortmund acted as a mean mother and raised Jude’s dowry up to 150. million euros and Red Machine owner FSG saw it as a price beyond their reach.
When the opportunity to sign Bellingham under the mechanic is flickering because there is no money to fight with millionaires like Manchester City and Real Madrid who are following dumplings. The 19-year-old engine room is also here, so Liverpool must turn to plan B, that is, look for a midfielder with the same or similar qualifications as Bellingham to replace with the condition that The price must be more affordable as well.
According to Smarterscout, a website that collects interesting player information, several players aged 23 and under who play in a style similar to Bellingham and Liverpool are likely to be bought. Up to 2 or 3 people can join the army at the same time using a budget equal to the price of Nong Jude that the yellow tiger bent.
From the graph attached to watch, you can see that The players who play closest to Bellingham are Pedri and Gabi 2, Barcelona’s young midfielders. Camp Nou at this time seems to be more difficult than the 150 million euros to buy Bellingham.
So the player we will mention as Liverpool’s first choice is Joe Willock, the young midfielder aiming for the England national team of Newcastle United.
Willock’s name may come as a surprise. But did you know that according to information from Smarterscout, in addition to having a style of play similar to Bellingham, the 23-year-old star also has a style of play similar to Gini Wijnaldum, the former favorite of the homestead? Seaside, plus the price is still cheaper than Bellingham, with the Transfermarkt website estimating that this guy should only be able to move the team with a price of 30 million euros.
The next option, Liverpool, must fly to the sky to grab the land of perfume, that is Maxx Cagueret, the talented engine of Olympique Lyon.
Caqueret made his way to the Lyon first team during the 2020/21 season and has developed into the current full-fledged midfielder.
Although unable to bring the ball forward, possessing the ball and scoring goals as well as Bellingham, Cagueret has the strength of connecting the game. and opening the ball at a loss
In addition, the 23-year-old star has plenty of power, can run throughout 90 minutes and is also a midfielder who reads the game. And cut the ball well as well This guy has a price of only 25 million euros in the football market.
Third choice remains in France, Enzo Le Fe, Lorient’s diminutive.
Le Fe is a hardworking player. Which should fit well with Klopp’s playing system. Although not outstanding in cutting the ball, Le Fe is a player who bites and doesn’t let go. And able to interrupt the opponent’s game as well as Manchester United’s Fred
The obvious difference between Le Fe and Bellingham, aside from their considerably smaller stature (Le Fe is 170 cm tall, while Bellingham is 186 cm tall), is in passing the ball.
While Bellingham prefers short passes, Le Fe prefers long passes that are more at stake and more forward. And four goals and five assists in 28 Ligue 1 appearances this season. which was estimated at 12 million euros
The next option that should start to sound familiar to our home fans is Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall of Leicester City.
Dewsbury-Hall He is a player who can play in a variety of positions in midfield. can stretch out to play on the side And is good at finding space to receive the ball from teammates
In addition, Dewsbury-Hall Can also take the ball forward as well as Bellingham, as well as being able to pass the ball in a variety of ways and accurate in both short and long balls
Moreover, without the ball, Dewsbury-Hall Still stepping down to help the game get well which this property is considered Outstanding, not fleeing from Bellingham much, the price was estimated at 25 million euros only.
The last one was none other than Matheus Nunes, Wolves’ Portuguese team-mate, who has been frequently linked with Liverpool over the past 12 months.
Despite being slightly overage (24), Nunes is an interesting choice. who can take the ball forward as well as Bellingham and is a player who likes to play in harmony with his teammates by knocking the ball short rather than stab the ball forward as well
On top of that, Nunes is good at creating games. And has a trick to insert into the goal to break the goal in the penalty area But there is also a weakness in finishing timing that has not found the target in all 24 games in the Premier League this season, with only one assist.
As for the defensive game, Nunes is considered to be doing well at a fair level. Outstanding in cutting the ball and interfering with the opponent’s offensive game While the value was initially estimated at 45 million euros.
