Liverpool star Diogo Jota jokingly said he’s going to urge the club to seal the transfer of Borussia Dortmund wonderkid Jude Bellingham so he can use him in his FIFA Ultimate Team.
The Portugal international was streaming one of his games on Twitch when he made the comment, which although innocent enough, is bound to get Liverpool fans talking.
Bellingham is a huge prospect and is sure to be targeted by a host of big clubs in the not-too-distant future after his performances in the Bundesliga, the Champions League, and with the England national team.

Bellingham is firmly on Liverpool’s radar, CaughtOffside understands, and he could be ideal to come in as a long-term replacement for Georginio Wijnaldum, who left last summer, as well as eventually replacing Jordan Henderson as the club’s main man in midfield.
Bellingham is a gd promising player who can develop well under Klopp. Getting him will be a bonus. Haaland will also be a good addition to the team which can free the pressure for Mane and Salah for scoring. However the cost may be a huge limiting factor. It will be nice to see these at Liverpool. I would not bet for Haaland to join Real Madrid: competing with Mbappe and Vinicious. He can develop better at liverpool into a formidable player.
