Liverpool transfer target Jude Bellingham posts reaction to Man City draw

mirror.co.uk, 3 October 2021, 18:41

Borussia Dortmund wonderkid Jude Bellingham summed up what all fans were thinking with his response to Liverpool's draw with Manchester City.

The two title contenders shared the points after a pulsating match at Anfield which featured four second-half goals and many moments of the highest quality.

Sadio Mane fired the Reds in front just before the hour mark and Phil Foden rifled into the bottom corner to equalise on 69 minutes.

Mohamed Salah, the creator of Mane's opener, then produced one of the goals of the season with a mazing run and powerful finish, only for Kevin De Bruyne to pull City level again.

Jude Bellingham was impressed with what he saw from Liverpool and Manchester City

The back-and-forth fixture on Merseyside featured two teams going at it hammer and tongs, with Bellingham among those hugely impressed by the enthralling clash.

The 18-year-old - who is Liverpool's primary target ahead of next year's summer transfer window - took to Twitter to write: "What a game!"

The Reds are said to be willing to pay £80million to sign Bellingham from Dortmund next summer as Jurgen Klopp looks to strengthen his midfield.

The England star enjoyed another successful 90 minutes in the Bundesliga on Saturday as Dortmund battled to a 2-1 win over Augsburg to stay in touch with league-leaders Bayern Munich.

Bellingham will play no part in the imminent international break on the request of his club, who are keen to manage his workload.

The teenager is under contract at Westfalenstadion until the summer of 2025 but he is expected to attract plenty of attention next summer, not least from Liverpool.

Will Jude Bellingham leave Borussia Dortmund to join Liverpool in the next summer transfer window? Have your say in the comments.

The Reds' riveting match with City was a brilliant advert for the Premier League which may have Bellingham wondering about a return to England two years after leaving boyhood club Birmingham.

Sky Sports pundit Roy Keane claimed it was a "brilliant match" which showed off both sides' strengths as well as their weaknesses.

"I think both teams will be satisfied, great reaction from Liverpool in the second half great energy scored two outstanding goals," said Keane.

"Okay, poor defensively from City but then City showed their quality to fight back so I think both managers will be pretty satisfied."

Pep Guardiola's side lost 2-0 at Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday, and Keane added: "Been a tough week for City when you look at the away games but Liverpool again scoring goals, looking a threat even as poor as they were first half.

"Overall I thought it was a brilliant match and a fair result."
