Liverpool have been accused of making a 'cheat offer' in the battle for Jude Bellingham by offering the England star's father a job with the club.
Bellingham, who impressed for the Three Lions at the 2022 World Cup, has been linked with a summer move away from current club Borussia Dortmund. Jurgen Klopp's Reds have long been admirers of the 19-year-old, but they could face competition from the likes of Real Madrid - despite recent claims from Carlo Ancelotti - and Manchester City.
Fresh reports, however, have suggested the Anfield club are prepared to offer the midfielder's father Mark a scouting job with the club. The Reds are also said to be keeping tabs on Jude's younger brother Jobe, currently at Birmingham City, and the Spanish media do not seem delighted by the developments.
