England was knocked out of the Qatar World Cup on Saturday by France. The moment that was done, a few players took to social media to share their stories and feelings. Manchester City’s Erling Haaland sends a message to Liverpool target after England’s World Cup exit at the hands of France.
Liverpool, who has been tracking Jude Bellingham for quite a while now, also put up a post on Instagram. Manchester City’s Erling Haaland commented on Bellingham’s Instagram post.
His post read – “This one will be painful for a very long time. The better team on the night went out, that’s football sometimes. Regardless, I’m so proud of the effort, fight and performance from my teammates over the course of the whole tournament. Thank you also to the fans for the love and support these past few weeks, stick with us even in this low moment as we use this experience to continue to grow as a team for future tournaments. Keep the faith, our time will come.”
The comment from Haaland read, “what a player”.
It is no secret that Jude is one of the most sought-after midfield prospects of the future. He has been linked to Manchester City, Real Madrid, and Liverpool. However, the most recent transfer rumours say that Liverpool is in pole position to get his signature.
Many fans will see this as Erling’s futile attempt to build a relationship with Bellingham, given that they were teammates at Borussia Dortmund. Trent Alexander Arnold and Jordan Henderson have created a great bond with Jude and according to fans are playing the roles of Jurgen Klopp’s and Liverpool’s ‘secret agents’ to convince the star to pick Liverpool.
After the penalty miss from Tottenham Hotspurs’ Harry Kane, Bellingham went straight over to console the striker. This shows how great Bellingham is and shows how mature he is despite just being 19 years old.
Whether Liverpool manages to sign him or not, or Manchester City uses Haaland’s relationship to throw a spanner in the works for Liverpool, time will tell.
