The actual circumstances that caused Liverpool to search abroad are only known to them.
It’s reasonable to argue that Liverpool lost out on Jude Bellingham, a potential Ballon d’Or winner. Instead, Jürgen Klopp has accomplished a feat of transfer brilliance.
This summer, Liverpool’s Jude Bellingham issue was evident. His La Liga debut has only served to emphasize his unique qualities, but Jürgen Klopp need his funds to fund more than one midfield player.
Of course, it’s possible that Bellingham had already decided he wanted to play for Real Madrid. The actual circumstances that caused Liverpool to search abroad are only known to them. However, Klopp’s awful 2022–23 campaign did not help things; ultimately, a generational talent was lost, whether it was because it turned the player off or highlighted the need for a more extensive reconstruction.
To be fair, not even the most ardent Bellingham supporters could have predicted that he would score ten goals in his first ten league games, including a brace in the El Clasico to defeat Barcelona. It would be an understatement to suggest that Carlo Ancelotti has enjoyed the dividends from deploying him at such an advanced position.
