Carlo Ancelotti doesn’t seem too convinced to sign Jude Bellingham. He clearly does not dare deny or discuss his incredible talent, and he would be a luxurious reinforcement for Real Madrid. But it is also necessary to assess the massive cost that would entail, as Borussia Dortmund will not settle for less than €100m to allow their superstar to leave. All this in addition to the salary he will ask for
And that wasn’t enough, the English star is also asking for a guarantee that everything will be played perfectly, and he hopes to make room for Toni Kroos or Luka Modric before signing his contract. And the great interest from other teams such as Liverpool, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United will make his price rise even more. So it could become one of the most expensive transfers in history
This makes Carlito suspicious, who recommends Florentino Perez to consider other alternatives, and not focus only on the 19-year-old midfielder. He is convinced that there are other interesting footballers out there too, who would have a much lower rating than the former Birmingham City man. And he didn’t take long to recommend a crack name that he’s convinced could become an essential part of his schemes
Ancelotti declares himself a fan of Niccolo Barella, the brain of Inter Milan and the Italian national team. At the Santiago Bernabéu they have been reporting on him since he was just a young prospect, and he was beginning to take his first steps in the elite defending colors of Cagliari Calcio. They haven’t lost sight of them all this time, and they’ve been surprised by the development it’s seen year after year
While Bellingham is still the President’s favorite, you also have to appreciate the “neroazzurra” star, which is a really attractive option, and will require a much lower investment
Despite the fact that it wouldn’t be easy to get Giuseppe Meazza to let one of their great pillars leave, Ancelotti believes it’s an entirely feasible option, and that for a sum of around 70 kilos, they would start negotiating it. Barilla. So it is an option worth considering
This campaign confirms he is one of the best midfielders on the planet, and his stats are impressive, with six goals and six assists in 20 matches
