Jude Bellingham has bigged up Liverpool summer transfer target Federico Valverde on his Instagram story after Real Madrid’s stunning win in the Champions League.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side secured a 3-2 win against Napoli, with Federico Valverde scoring the winning goal after his thunderous effort from outside of the box.
A player of high, high quality and one of the best players in the world, you can understand why Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool wanted to sign the player this summer.
The Reds made an ‘enquiry’ for Federico Valverde, but in the end, the Real Madrid star was too difficult to lure away.
Trying to sign any top player from Real Madrid is hard enough, but to lure a player from a Champions League club when you aren’t in that competition is even harder.
But Federico Valverde proved why he deserves to play at the highest level, as he, alongside Jude Bellingham, produced a masterclass in Naples last night, with the Englishman telling his teammate via his Instagram story ‘what a player’.
Liverpool surging back
There is a lot of talk about whether Liverpool are in the Premier League title race given the start they have made this season.
Given that Jurgen Klopp’s side were the last team to dethrone Manchester City from top spot, then it’s every chance that they can do it again.
Either way, getting back to the Champions League is a minimum for this season.
And if that happens, then they can get back to signing the elite players next summer.
