Liverpool FC’s 7-0 thrashing of Manchester United in the English Premier League made waves at the weekend – also on social networks, where BVB star Jude Bellingham was carried away with a spicy Like.
Visibly euphoric about the crashing dismantling of Manchester United, defender Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool FC posted a snapshot from the player tunnel on Instagram after the game.
The 24-year-old grins cheerfully at the camera in the photo. The focus of the image, however, is on the legendary sign that reads “This is Anfield”, which has been hanging in a similar form above the exit of the players’ tunnel in the legendary stadium for over half a century.
It is not surprising that the post was well received by Liverpool FC itself as well as current Reds players, ex-Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge and numerous fans.
From BVB to Liverpool FC?
On the other hand, the fact that Borussia Dortmund shooting star Jude Bellingham is among the followers who expressed their approval caused a stir.
If you consider that the BVB professional and Alexander-Arnold from the English national team know each other and are good friends, it is not surprising that he is positive about his companion’s success.
In the social networks, Bellingham’s Like is not least interpreted as a sign that the 19-year-old is considering a move from BVB to Liverpool.
In any case, the fans of the Reds are over the moon: “Come to Liverpool”, “I hope you saw this victory” or “We need you” are the comments under Bellingham’s last post on Instagram.
BVB expects “discussion” about Jude Bellingham
Liverpool with team manager Jürgen Klopp has been a hot contender for a commitment from the BVB high-flyer for months.
Bellingham’s contract with the Black and Yellows does not end until the summer of 2025. A multi-million dollar farewell to the World Cup participant from BVB after the current season is a very realistic scenario.
“Jude still has two years of contract,” said BVB sports director Sebastian Kehl recently on “ZDF”. The longtime captain also admitted that he knows “how the business works. It will pick up speed at some point and we will have the discussion towards the summer.”
Most recently, the English media predicted that Bellingham’s move from BVB to Liverpool would still be an option if the Reds qualified for the Champions League.
It didn’t look like that for a long time, but the performances of the last few weeks, especially the win against United, have increased the chance again.
By the way: In addition to Bellingham, Ragnar Ache, who is currently on loan from Eintracht Frankfurt to SpVgg Greuther Fürth, also marked Alexander-Arnold’s post. So far there have been no rumors of a move to Liverpool.
