Previous Manchester Joined safeguard Rio Ferdinand has tipped Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham to dismiss a transition to Liverpool this late spring. Britain global is as of now quite possibly the most sought-after footballer and has been firmly connected with the Merseyside monsters as well as Genuine Madrid.
However, Ferdinand asserts that Bellingham would rather move to the Santiago Bernabeu than Anfield. He insists that Jurgen Klopp’s team’s failure to qualify for the UEFA Champions League would make the midfielder’s job even simpler. The Echo quotes Ferdinand as saying:
“I simply believe, assuming he [Bellingham] watches that this evening, he’s staying there thinking: ‘ There is only one place I can go if Real Madrid and Liverpool are interested in me, and Liverpool may not finish in the Champions League as well.
Additionally, Ferdinand has emphasized that if Bellingham joins the Spanish capital club, his chances of winning trophies will significantly increase. Added he:
“As a player, and this has nothing to do with my loyalty to either Liverpool or Manchester United, you look at it coldly and think, At Madrid, I see more awards.'”
After losing to Real Madrid in the Champions League Round of 16 with a 6-2 aggregate score, Jurgen Klopp’s team is now doomed to finish the season without a trophy. On Wednesday night (March 15), the Reds had to come back from a 5-2 defeat at Anfield at the home of the current European champions.
But they never got close enough, and Los Blancos won the second leg 1-0 thanks to a late goal from Karim Benzema. With a game in hand, Liverpool is sixth in the Premier League table, six points behind fourth.
Meanwhile, Borussia Dortmund has benefited greatly from Bellingham’s performance this season. In 33 games played in various competitions, he has contributed six assists and scored 10 goals.
Jamie Carragher wonders if the superstar player for Liverpool will ever be adequate on defense:
Jamie Carragher, a legendary Liverpool player, has criticized Trent Alexander-Arnold for his lack of defensive discipline and pleaded with his former club to sign a right-back this summer. The former England defender told CBS Sports, via Echo, following the Reds’ 1-0 defeat to Real Madrid:
“That cannot continue, given what has transpired with him this season and the numerous instances in which he has been lacking defensively. Because Trent Alexander-Arnold has been so good, you wonder, “Who do you buy and how much do you spend for someone who is not really going to play every week?”
“The problem they have in that position is that they’ve never had real competition for Trent Alexander-Arnold,” and one of the reasons why is because he has been so good. Carragher elaborated, stating that Alexander-Arnold requires competition and assistance:
“Liverpool has reached a point where they must acquire a right back. In terms of how good that right back is and how much he costs, Jurgen Klopp has to decide, but that kid needs serious competition.”
Added he:
“He has been playing at the highest level for five years without taking a break, winning absolutely everything and more than I could ever hope to win. Although he requires assistance, I am so proud of him as a local youth rising through the ranks.
In attack, Alexander-Arnold has also not performed as well as usual this season. In 36 games played across competitions, he has scored three goals and provided three assists.
