Liverpool, long linked, have finally pulled out of the Jude Bellingham race early. With the summer just months away, reports have emerged that the Reds are playing down their interest to focus on a more joint transfer effort. No one will ever know the full truth about what happened.
From Liverpool’s perspective, it would be fair to assume that a new midfielder, even one of Bellingham’s caliber, will not be enough. But whether he gave up the chase, at least in part, because he felt he was losing out to Real Madrid is anyone’s guess.In any case, leaving the legend behind gave Liverpool plenty of time to pull off a great move and Jurgen Klopp is reaping the rewards.
Bellingham may be thriving in the Spanish capital, but FSG may feel they have the right not to commit to a protracted battle with no guarantees in the end.Only the club’s inner sanctum can tell how far Liverpool are willing to go to secure the next generation of talent.
Some reports say an unprecedented attack is underway. El Nacional claim the Reds are ready to offer the midfielder’s father Mark Bellingham a scouting position. Although it may seem unlikely, there is a lot of logic in the conclusion that Liverpool would like to bring Joe Bellingham to the club.
The Real Madrid younger brother joined Sunderland from Birmingham City last summer and has already established himself as a key figure in the team.The Mirror have suggested that Liverpool could sign Jobe in the summer of 2022, leading many to believe this is part of a plan to lure Jude by putting the two together.
Maybe so, but even if that dream died, there was still a reason to take my little brother. Bellingham remembered why this weekend. He started this game as a substitute and made an immediate impact, scoring a superb goal to secure the three points and send Sunderland back into the play-off places.
The only completion is a shot from the left edge of the penalty area into the top corner. But that was after a maze reminiscent of Bellingham’s older brother. A neat step created space for the shot and the execution was perfect.
