Liverpool fans may be a bit confused by the conflicting reports that are surfacing about Jude Bellingham’s relationship with Mark Bennett, but this matter seems to be cleared up once and for all.
During his exclusive chat with Empire of the Kop, BILD’s Christian Falk said: “There were a lot of conversations with his father, Mark, and his mother, Denise, his agent, Mark Bennett, was also involved.”
However, Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sports Germany later tweeted: “I have been told by reliable sources that Mark Bennett is certainly NOT his agent! He has nothing to do with any negotiation. He didn’t speak to Real Madrid either.

In an attempt to try and clear all this up, Christian Falk spoke exclusively to Empire of the Kop again to reveal: ‘The negotiations for Bellingham are with his parents. Mark Bennett is a family friend who helps with advice.’
Although both journalists agree that Jurgen Klopp appears to have given the Reds an advantage in negotiations by now, the role of a possible agent or adviser appears to be somewhat disputed.
More positive news from this is that the 19-year-old’s parents appear to be crucial in this deal and that we also seem to have the upper hand with them as they look to return to England and favor a move to Anfield.
With our fingers crossed, we continue to hear more positive news and that the next nine months can fly by before we secure the services of the Borussia Dortmund man.
For now though, we can wait in the wings and hope that Jordan Henderson and Trent Alexander-Arnold continue to do a good job convincing the midfielder to move to Anfield.
