Liverpool supporters won’t be enjoying this Jude Bellingham speculation one bit.
While it’s true that it’s always exciting to see your beloved club linked to a player worth nine figures.
And in the Reds’ case, the speculation seems subtantial amid reports from Christian Falk on Twitter that Liverpool are actually winning the race to sign him, as covered by HITC Sport.
On the flip side, the fanbase has to put up with worrying rumours of much richer outfits also being interested.
Take Paris Saint-Germain for instance.
Before his all-action World Cup display for England on Sunday, there wasn’t much speculation about Bellingham going to Ligue 1.
However, the mega-rich club’s present, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, confirmed to Sky Sports in midweek that he was interested in signing the 19-year-old Borussia Dortmund player, too.
And here’s how Liverpool-mad pundit Jose Enrique reacted on Instagram.
Unfortunately, this certainly would constitute as ‘bad news’ for the Anfield outfit, yes.
Of all the clubs who Liverpool and other reported suitors don’t want to see enter the race, it’s one of the richest clubs in football.
The truth is that PSG have the financial resources, the clout and the existing players – like Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe – to be a serious threat to Jurgen Klopp and Fenway Sports Group in this race.
With the player comfortably worth over £100 million now, it’s definitely a negative when someone like the French giants throw their hat into the ring.
