Jude Bellingham has raved about PSG forward Kylian Mbappe, after claims that he could be on his way to Liverpool.

Bellingham was unveiled as a Real Madrid player this morning, having turned down the chance to move to Liverpool himself. During his first press conference at the Santiago Bernabeu via Football Daily, the 19-year-old was asked for his thoughts on Mbappe’s current situation in Paris.

“Like I said for the Harry Kane question, it’s not really any of my business,” Bellingham replied. “They’re both unbelievable players, the best in the world in their positions.

“I can’t really comment, I don’t know his situation, I’ve seen some of it on the internet, on Twitter. If anything, my whole saga has taught me that not everything you see is true, don’t take that word for word. I’m trying to build my own opinion from what I know, but in all honesty he’s a great player, whatever he chooses to do all the best to him.

“Would I like to play with a player like Kylian Mbappe? Who wouldn’t.”

Liverpool contenders to sign Mbappe

Bellingham’s comments here will only serve to add fuel to the fire that is Mbappe’s predicament at PSG.

The way things are looking, it feels likely that the former Borussia Dortmund man will get his wish and play alongside Mbappe at Madrid. If not now, then surely in a year’s time.

And yet, reports linking the Frenchman with Liverpool persist. Earlier this week the Reds were said to be a ‘big candidate’ to sign Mbappe, along with Real Madrid.

It’s unlikely that Liverpool will be filled with thoughts of revenge after missing out Bellingham, but it would be nice to get one over on him and Madrid all the same.

Regardless of motive though, it still seems virtually impossible for the Reds to sign Mbappe. At least not this summer. Journalist Fabrizio Romano has already poured cold water on the chances of seeing Kylian in Liverpool red, anyway.

But should PSG be unable to shift their star man, and he leaves on a free transfer next summer, then who knows.

Historically, Liverpool have obviously been some kind of runner in the Mbappe race. The World Cup winner is reportedly interested by the Reds and his mum is known to be a fan. If there’s even a hint that they could get him, Liverpool should try it. As Bellingham says, who wouldn’t want one of the very best players in the world on their team?
