Jude Bellingham (19 years old in July) was, is and will be Real Madrid’s great goal for the 2023 summer market. The signings of the Madrid entity in recent years are cooked over time, with the field work of the sports management of the Madrid entity and the truth is that except in the case of Jovic, an express request from Zinedine Zidane, and that of Hazard, who has not come close to what he was at Chelsea, the incorporations respond to expectations, such and as Vinicius, Rodrygo, Alaba, Valverde, Tchouameni demonstrate…
What has Real Madrid done so far around the English midfielder? The first contacts began with the year 2022 . The need, Mbappé aside, pointed to a pure midfielder and the target became Tchouaméni. With the Frenchman there were moments of doubt, not because of his performance but because of the player’s clear desire to know what role he was going to play in a midfield with Casemiro, Kroos and Modric. In addition, the club had to take care of economic stability and if Mbappé finally said yes, everything was in danger. As MARCA has been counting, Bellingham has been followed since before his arrival in Germany in the summer of 2019
Madrid asked Bellingham not to renew with Dortmund
The Premier was stalking the then Monaco midfielder and the situation invited Tchouameni to doubt, but the advice received both by his entourage and from some teammates in the Principality team’s locker room led him to wait for Real Madrid’s move. Meanwhile, the leaders of the white club asked Bellingham not to renew his contract with Borussia Dortmund, because sooner or later the Madrid entity was going to appear on the midfielder’s horizon
Bellingham kept his word. Despite the multiple pressures received, the Englishman did not renew his contract with his current team, nor did he listen to the multiple offers received, all of them from the Premier , but with special insistence one from Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool. The Champions League finalist is looking to strengthen the midfield and although his first target last summer was Gavi, the insistence with the English international has grown in recent days
Modric, Kroos and Ceballos end contract
Real Madrid currently has six midfielders in the squad and, curiously, three of them are out of contract. In the case of Modric and Kroos it will be their football and what goes through their minds, the factors that will mark their continuity or not. The Croatian has already said that he intends to continue playing for a while longer, while the German already told the club leaders last spring that it was not the time to renew and that he would prefer to wait until the start of the season, at a high level. by the way
Ceballos is appearing by the team. Ancelotti has him in his way, that is, as an alternative for certain moments of the matches. The step to be a starter seems far away, but in any case his performance is leaving everyone satisfied. That does not mean that the club has proposed a renewal
