In the ever-evolving world of football, comparisons between rising stars and established players are inevitable. Recently, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola reportedly made a striking claim: “He’s far better than Jude Bellingham, but his potential has been held back due to poor management.

However, there may be positive news for Liverpool in their pursuit of Kerkez. According to The i Paper, Liverpool…
