Liverpool interested in £35m world champion
According to L'Equipe, the Reds are interested in the French forward.
The 27-year-old has it difficult to translate his form at Leipzig over to Chelsea and so just two years after his initial move, the signs are suggesting that he could be headed out the door this summer.

He's averaging a goal contribution every 125 minutes, but 10 of his 23 goals and assists have come in the Conference League, which the Blues won at the end of last season, beating Real Betis 4-1.
In the latest Club World Cup campaign, he delivered a mixture of performances. At times, he was looking promising, to such an extent that Chelsea fans considered the idea that he might remain at the club for next season, but it appears as though he is still headed elsewhere.

Jude Bellingham Will Miss Up to 3 Months After Shoulder Surgery
Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham underwent shoulder surgery on Wednesday and was expected to miss the start of the upcoming season. The club said in a brief statement that the England international needed surgery "to address recurrent dislocation of his left shoulder." The procedure was "successful," it added. "Bellingham will now undergo a period of rehabilitation, prior to returning to training and starting his recovery," the club's statement said. Madrid did not say for how long Bellingham will be sidelined, but Spanish media reported he could be out two to three months. Madrid opens its La Liga campaign on Aug. 19 against Osasuna. He is also expected to miss some Champions League games and likely England's World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia in September. The 22-year-old Bellingham had been nursing the shoulder injury since 2023 but was delaying the surgery to avoid missing time with Madrid and England. He was able to play while wearing a brace. Bellingham played at the Club World Cup, finishing his second season with Madrid after joining from Borussia Dortmund. Reporting by The Associated Press.
