Liverpool have had a tendency to wait to make a transfer move for some of the top young stars in world football over the past few seasons, with Jude Bellingham, Jadon Sancho and plenty more having been allowed to move elsewhere.Sancho, in fairness, was deemed to difficult to sign from Man City, who would not want to lose him to a Premier League rival, even if they ultimately saw him sign for their city rivals for £72m this summer after four years in Germany.Bellingham was another player who opted to move to Borussia Dortmund, a club that can offer Champions League football and a Bundesliga title challenge, but also plenty of minutes for young starlets. The 18-year-old cost between £25-30m to sign from Birmingham City last summer, and Liverpool simply would not spend that sort of money on a teenager who was essentially still a gamble, given his limited senior experience. With Bellingham and others, though, it was clear all along that they were destined to reach the very top.How much of a gamble was it really to sign a player who was already one of the top players in the Championship at 17 and has since taken the Champions League by storm?Read MoreRelated ArticlesRead MoreRelated ArticlesLiverpool have their own model, and clearly, it works. Harvey Elliott, Kaide Gordon and now Bobby Clark have all been signed with high hopes that they could transform from top prospects to top stars.The former has already begun to show his talents despite his injury against Leeds United, Gordon is not a million miles behind him, and Clark has made an excellent start to life on Merseyside.All three of those players were signed for a minimal fee (around £4m for Elliott after a tribunal; around £3m for Gordon after a fee was agreed with Derby County; while Clark's transfer value will also be determined by the court but can be expected to be similar to Elliott's). Those sorts of deals, of course, should continue. No one would doubt the moves for Elliott, Gordon, Clark and others: they are no risk moves that will generate money for Liverpool even if the players ultimately do not make the grade at Anfield though each of the trio have an excellent chance of doing so.

Should Liverpool follow up their interest in the player in future, the bidding will begin at £80m with every other club capable of making such an offer likely to be tabling bids to push that figure even further north. Man City are the latest club to be credited with a serious interest in Bellingham in addition to Liverpool, and they certainly will not be the last side keen on acquiring him. Other players are in a similar position, in that they are about to see a huge jump in their valuations that might put Liverpool out of contention. Dortmund won 4-3 away at Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday, with the hosts having their own prodigy that top clubs will soon be sniffing around in 18-year-old Florian Wirtz. Wirtz has already long been tipped to become Leverkusen's next Kai Havertz that tag had been applied before Havertz had even departed for Chelsea.The teenager has been involved in a goal every 25 minutes so far this season, with two goals and three assists in 124 minutes on the field. Wirtz, no doubt, will be a player that Liverpool are aware of as will many other clubs around Europe. Very soon, his price-tag will reach the same sort of level (£71m) that Chelsea paid Leverkusen for Havertz a year ago. Changing their strategy slightly and moving for Wirtz early is the only way that Liverpool can realistically get in contention for his signature and even then, considering his goalscoring form so far this season, it might already be getting close to being too late.Liverpool's strategy does not need a wholesale reversal; just a simple evolution that sees them take a little bit more of a risk in the market with emerging talents like Bellingham and Wirtz, even if that means spending a little bit more.With Bellingham, the boat has almost certainly already sailed. With Wirtz a player capable of coming into the front line and replacing Roberto Firmino when the time is right, and someone who would already be a clear upgrade on the likes of Divock Origi and Takumi Minamino there just about about still be time.Read MoreRelated ArticlesRead MoreRelated Articles
