On today’s Boxing Day, Liverpool FC returns to everyday Premier League life. Before the game at Aston Villa (6:30 p.m.), Jürgen Klopp gave the obligatory press conference yesterday – and was also asked about Jude Bellingham.
The Reds would like to sign the 19-year-old superstar from Borussia Dortmund in the summer – and alongside Real Madrid and Manchester City, they are part of the trio that can still calculate serious chances. So it’s high time for public flattery? At least that’s what Klopp’s words about Bellingham suggest.
“Mature as a 28 year old”
“Everyone knows Jude is an exceptional player”praised the coach, “He played an extraordinary World Cup. The things he already knows are hard to learn, while the things he needs to improve are easy to learn.” Bellingham is already playing “as mature as a 28-year-old”.
In Dortmund, they are said to already know about Bellingham’s desire to change. The 22-time English national player is still under contract until 2025 – but he has now outgrown BVB. Liverpool meanwhile wants to initiate the upheaval in midfield, Bellingham would fit perfectly into the grid. The transfer fee is well over 100 million euros.
