RB Leipzig are reportedly leading the race to sign Jude Bellingham's brother Jobe, with former Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp overseeing the club's dealings.

Klopp has served as Red Bull's head of global soccer since January, a role that sees him work with the raft of clubs owned by the energy drink company.

And Klopp could help Leipzig seal a deal for Bellingham, having previously fallen short in his attempts to sign his older brother Jude while at Liverpool.



It is claimed that a summer move is 'likely', although Leipzig 'consider the current package too expensive'.

As a result, it may be second time lucky for Klopp after Liverpool's efforts to sign Jude failed during his time at Anfield.

Liverpool were viewed as favourites in the race for his services at one time, with Conor Coady claiming Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jordan Henderson "man marked" Bellingham while at the 2022 World Cup with England.

Klopp also spoke glowingly about the player after the tournament, stating: "I don't like to talk about money when you talk about a player like him.

Everybody knew already but I have no idea what that means for the money side of it.

"I really think if we all want to do him a favour then we do not talk too much about money.

"I never understood why we constantly talk about things we theoretically cannot have," Klopp said.

"We cannot have six players in the summer for £100m [each], for example.
