It’s been reported earlier that Liverpool is interested in signing Bellingham and it is also thought that Jurgen Klopp is a big fan. Meanwhile, rivals Manchester City and Manchester United are also admirers of the Englishman, while Real Madrid had previously emerged as the frontrunner for his signature.
Speaking to reporters about the midfielder, the Liverpool coach said 19-year-old Bellingham plays like a 28-year-old and he doesn’t have an idea how much it would cost to bring him to Merseyside.
Klopp said;
“Bellingham is just exceptional. He plays so mature, like a 28-year-old. Everybody already knew his skills, but I have no idea what that means for the money side of it.
“He’s very good, exceptional. He had an incredible World Cup”.
Klopp also said he doesn’t want to put a price on someone who could be a generational talent. He added;
“I don’t like to talk about money when you talk about a player like him. Everyone can see he is just exceptional.
“If you mention to someone who has no clue about football, or who knows about football and has not watched it for a while (and ask) ‘How old do you think Jude Bellingham is?’, I don’t think anyone would get even close to his age.
“They would say 28 or 29 because he plays so maturely. He played an exceptional World Cup. Absolutely exceptional.
“With all the things he has and things he can improve, to describe him I would say the things he can do are difficult to learn, and the things he can improve are easy to learn.
“So, yes, he is a really good player. What can I say? I have thought that already for two or three years since he had his breakthrough at Dortmund.
“I really think if we all want to do him a favour then we do not talk too much about money. I mean that from an England point of view. Do not throw any hurdles in his development.”
