Jamie Carragher has admitted he is desperate to see Jude Bellingham at Liverpool in a hilarious exchange with the Borussia Dortmund midfielder.
The Reds have had a long-standing interest in the 19-year-old correlating with his meteoric rise in Germany where he continues to be linked with Jurgen Klopp's side. His performances for Edin Terzic's side have ignited the competition for his signature as Real Madrid and Manchester City are among the clubs vying for his services.
Carragher isn't the first Liverpool player to express his admiration and hope that the former Birmingham City midfielder swaps Signal Iduna Park. Former captain Steven Gerrard went as far as saying he would jump on a flight to Germany and said he's a "huge fan".

On Tuesday's edition of CBS Sports Golazo, Carragher tried his hand at turning cupid for pitchside reporter Nico Cantor as he angled for an on-air marriage proposal to his girlfriend watching at home, although he ultimately failed in his efforts.
Cantor was in Dortmund for their 1-0 win over Chelsea thanks to Karim Adeyemi's second-half solo effort and looked to Bellingham to rush to his defence, which he did sending a message to the ex-defender.
"When he was trying to get you to propose? Jamie, do better. Not on Valentine's Day, when she's there, come on," Bellingham joked. "I've got your [Nico Cantor] back there. You should've protected yourself a little bit more though... big names in the studio, crumbled a little bit, it's alright."
Thierry Henry and Micah Richards were alongside Carragher back in the studio, and the Liverpool legend was more than happy to take a bit of stick from Bellingham. "Listen, I want that man in a red shirt so I'm going to do whatever he tells me to do!
"So if Jude Bellingham has got anymore advice for me, I'm taking it all day my friend!"
Richards responded: "You sound quite desperate right now", to which Carragher replied: "For Jude Bellingham? I am! We are!", no doubt reflecting the feelings of plenty of Liverpool fans.
