Jordan Henderson has been recorded telling a fan that Liverpool target Jude Bellingham should not join Real Madrid.
Much has been made of the tight-knit bond between the pair during their time together for England at the World Cup.
Recently, Conor Coady revealed (via the Mirror) that Henderson has put the 19-year-old under his wing.
After the Three Lions’ 3-0 win against Senegal, Bellingham defended the much-maligned Reds skipper, telling ITV Sport he is “underrated technically.”
Even the 32-year-old lauded the sought-after midfielder’s display by labelling him as a “one-off” (via beIN SPORT).
With the duo celebrating in tandem after linking up for England’s opener in the Round of 16 clash, the rumour mill about the youngster joining Jurgen Klopp’s men went into overdrive.
Only recently, Sky journalist Florian Plettenburg has claimed that Liverpool are one of the 3 clubs in contention to sign the teenager, alongside Man City and Real Madrid.
Henderson tells fan that Bellingham should reject Real Madrid
In a video shared by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Jordan Henderson has candidly told a fan that Liverpool target Jude Bellingham should not join Real Madrid.
After the fan tried to convince the Borussia Dortmund starlet to join Los Blancos, Henderson intervened by saying, “No, no, no! Not [Real] Madrid. Not Madrid.”
Henderson clearly wants Bellingham to join Liverpool
At this point, it’s clear to see that Jordan Henderson is keen on Liverpool securing the services of Jude Bellingham, instead of Real Madrid or even Manchester City potentially.
In most such transfer sagas, any player would be diplomatic when discussing his side’s target.
However, the Reds skipper is unafraid to hide his as well as his club’s desire to sign the generational talent.
Only time will tell whether Jude Bellingham listens to Jordan Henderson’s advice or decides to join Real Madrid after all.
