Jude Bellingham is currently enjoying his summer break in the United States, where he had a chance encounter with Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero. The retired striker was impressed by Bellingham’s “very polite” demeanor during their meeting at a restaurant. Bellingham, fresh off a stellar season with Real Madrid that saw him claim both La Liga and Champions League titles, has been unwinding after a demanding campaign.

During his trip, Bellingham was also spotted with Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold, which has fueled transfer speculation amid rumors of Alexander-Arnold potentially moving to Real Madrid when his contract with Liverpool expires in 2025.

Aguero, who has a massive Instagram following of 30.8 million, shared a photo of their encounter, captioning it: “Hey Jude! While having dinner, this guy called Bellingham came to say hi. Very polite and nice. Incredible player.” This moment highlights Bellingham’s growing reputation, which has been evident since his debut with Birmingham City five years ago.

Meanwhile, Liverpool fans are becoming increasingly anxious about Alexander-Arnold’s future, especially given his strong bond with Bellingham, who was previously linked with a move to Anfield before his transfer to Madrid. Reds boss Arne Slot faced persistent questions about the full-back’s contract situation, responding with a rather vague statement: “My answer will probably be a bit boring… That contract situation is not discussed at this place, but just keep trying, I would say!” This response did little to ease the concerns of Liverpool supporters.
