Judd Bellingham has become one of the most sought-after players on the planet, perhaps the most, and if some wondered why, they quickly found an answer while watching his performance in England’s World Cup debut in Qatar. He not only started, but was one of the most prominent points in the “Three Lions” comfortable victory over Iran, in a match that ended with a resounding six goals
This has compounded the huge interest that was already there in the Borussia Dortmund star, who is hard to believe is only 19 years old. Real Madrid have been alerted to this, and they know they will have to work hard to get him to accept Florentino Perez’s offer, and reject the rest of the applicants he has. In particular, he was placed in Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City and Liverpool after his run
First they will have to come to an agreement with the German entity, which will not be satisfied with receiving less than 100 million euros to the British. But then they’ll also have to persuade the former Birmingham City man to agree, and for that he won’t be asking for much. He clearly knows he’s in an idyll, that he can claim all the money he wants, plus he wants to make sure he’ll be an undisputed starter in every game
This is why he claimed a very painful start at the Santiago Bernabéu before landing there. He wants to avoid any last-minute surprises, and finds himself playing a minor role under Carlo Ancelotti. Therefore, he hopes that the president will not renew the contract of Toni Kroos, who became free in June, and that this will pave the way for Bellingham. It remains to be seen if they will join in on that, or if the answer is no.
In this case, the BVB footballer will forget about the prospect of relegation in La Liga, and will start evaluating the rest of his options on the table
There are more and more voices asking Florentino Perez not to get lost and to close Bellingham’ addition as soon as possible. But Madrid now faces an unexpected foe, and one that could end up being decisive in the auction. Because Haaland wants to be reunited with his former teammate
