Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti appears to have handed Liverpool a huge boost to their hopes of signing Jude Bellingham by suggesting that the Spanish side are not in the running for his signature.
The England midfielder has triggered a scramble for his services over the last few years with his stunning performances for the Three Lions as well as Borussia Dortmund. Liverpool have been those most regularly linked with a swoop for his services.
It was thought that the Reds could face severe competition for Bellingham with reigning Spanish champions Real Madrid reportedly keen. Whilst recognising the huge talent that the 19-year-old possesses, Los Blancos boss Ancelotti has rejected the prospect of his side making a move having been left content with the options he currently has in the centre of the park.
