Gabby Agbonlahor has said on talkSPORT that Jude Bellingham will not move to Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool in the summer of 2023 and is more likely to pick Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City or Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid.
The former Aston Villa striker does not think that without UEFA Champions League football next season, Liverpool will be able to bring the £49,000-a-week (SalarySport) England international midfielder to Anfield in the summer of 2023.
Agbonlahor made the comments about Bellingham and Liverpool after the Reds’ latest defeat in the Premier League.
Jurgen Klopp’s side lost to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday afternoon.
Liverpool are now looking really unlikely to finish in the Premier League top four this season.
But they are still in the UEFA Champions League this campaign and could potentially win the competition.
According to Marca, Liverpool, Manchester City and Real Madrid all are interested in signing Bellingham from Dortmund at the end of the season.
Marca have claimed that Madrid, who won La Liga and the UEFA Champions League last season, are confident of getting a deal done in the summer of 2023.

Agbonlahor said: “I think the problem, Paul, is that you have been linked with Bellingham.
“Liverpool fans want Bellingham in, but he is not even going to look twice at coming to Liverpool.
“He is going to choose Manchester City, Real Madrid, all these other teams if you are not playing in the big competitions.”
