Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann has publicly praised Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham, who has been a long-term transfer target for Liverpool.
Nagelsmann has claimed that Bellingham – a rival at Bundesliga level – and his own club’s star Jamal Musiala were more deserving winners of this year’s Kopa Trophy – presented to the best performing player under the age of 21 – at the Ballon d’Or awards than Gavi, who claimed the gong.
Liverpool have been credited with an interest in Bellingham on a number of occasions in the past, with Jurgen Klopp thought to be a big fan. Meanwhile, rivals Manchester City and Manchester United are also apparently admirers of the reported £83million-rated Englishman. However, Real Madrid have emerged as frontrunners for his signature next summer.
