Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has urged the Reds to win the 'auction' for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham next summer.
The 19-year-old's stock is continuing to rise and he made the perfect start to the new season with a goal against 1860 Munich in the German Cup on Friday night.
Many of Europe's top clubs are said to have registered an interested in signing Bellingham, but the England international made it clear earlier this summer that he wants to spend at least one more season at Dortmund.
While that has warned off clubs such as Liverpool, Real Madrid and Manchester United for now, a bidding war is likely to take place in 12 months' time.
