Jude Bellingham finished fourth behind Jamal Musiala, Eduardo Camavinga, and Gavi. Fans were left in splits with Gavi lifting the prestigious Kopa Trophy. Bellingham has prospered and grown in the black and yellow of Dortmund. The English youngster tallied involvement in 20 goals. He scored 6 and assisted 14 this season in all competitions.
Bellingham describes himself as a box-to-box midfielder but currently plays in the defensive midfielder position. The 19-year-old has already made his way into the first team. He has managed to feature in 30 league appearances.
Borussia Dortmund looks reliant on the youngster and his abilities to change the tempo of the game. Jude looks to win back possession and rotate the play with side overload. The starlet won 433 challenges in the 2021/22 season, the third-most in Bundesliga. Also, he racked up an 85.9% pass success rate.
The talent Jude Bellingham brings to the table has turned heads in the transfer market as well. Top Clubs in Europe are scouting to make their bid the best. However, the Spanish Giants, Real Madrid, are looking to snap up the English player.
Real Madrid: Aiming to build a team for the future
Madrid has already acquired two of the most promising talents in world football currently, Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni. The gaffer, Ancelotti is pretty open-minded toward an optimistic addition to his squad. According to Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid have enough budget to pull off the signing as well.
Bellingham is versatile and can easily fit into a position in Real Madrid’s squad. The 14-time Champions League winners are not looking to replace Toni Kroos or Luka Modric. Instead, they wish to build yet another mesmerizing midfield. Bellingham seems to adjust quite nicely with the Dortmund squad and fans since the tender age of 17. He even donned the captain’s armband for the black and yellows.
Premier League clubs posing threat to Real Madrid’s transfer interests
Premier League does want to bring back their homeboy with giants Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United all interested. Liverpool has had a bitter rivalry with Real Madrid with their second Champions League Final loss against them. The sourness spread when Tchouameni snubbed the Merseyside Reds for the Galacticos. Liverpool was left with just Arthur Melo on a loan deal.
With fair options in the transfer market, Jude Bellingham would still go for Real Madrid. He definitely favors the Great Whites as a possible destination. Rumors tend to spread through the England International camp regarding the move. Carlo Ancelotti will also monitor the current situation to evaluate the style of his play as well as his price tag.
Borussia Dortmund has always had a good business in the market and makes smart moves. They have bought players at a bargain, nurtured them, and sold them at a banger. They might repeat the same with Bellingham too. Real Madrid will have to spend up to €100m to €150m for signing the 19-year-old. Manchester City could match the same quote but the player seems less eager to return to England just yet.
