Agent Jordan Henderson has been at it again.
The Liverpool captain has gotten close with his club’s transfer target and England teammate Jude Bellingham at the World Cup, and Reds fans are hoping he can work his magic in persuading the sought after teen to make the move to Anfield.
The pair combined brilliantly in England’s Round of 16 win against Senegal on Sunday, with Bellingham setting up his fellow midfielder for the opening goal – which has no doubt left Liverpool fans dreaming of what the pair could do together under Jurgen Klopp.
Liverpool are just one of the many clubs vying for the 19-year-old’s signature, though.
One of the Borussia Dortmund star’s many admirers are reigning Spanish and European champions Real Madrid. It turns out their fans seem just as keen as Liverpool’s to have him next season, too, as shown in footage doing the rounds on TikTok.
The clip posted by a fan on Twitter shows him filming pals Bellingham and Henderson, as well as other Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold.
“Jude Bellingham you are the best CM in the world. Very good. Come to Real Madrid, come to Real Madrid!” the fan says to Bellingham.
Originally the teen smiles and says thank you, but then begins pointing at Henderson, who can be heard saying something off camera.

The camera then focuses on Henderson, and it’s clear he’s keen for Liverpool to beat their competitors to snapping Bellingham up.
“No Madrid, no Madrid,” the Liverpool star says, shaking his finger.
And it turns out the fan had a message for the Liverpool skipper, too – although this one was a little bit less complimentary.
“But you lose the Champions League final!” the fan laughed, leading Henderson to crack up with Bellingham.
Panning back to the Borussia Dortmund star, the fan continues: “If you come to Real Madrid, you will get Ballon d’Or!”
Very modestly, the England star replied: “Do you think so? We’ll see!”
The Three Lions will be in action again on Saturday evening as they take on 2018 World Cup winners France in the quarter-finals, which you can listen to live on talkSPORT.
