Premier League
Real Madrid is focused on the derby against Atletico de Madrid this Saturday at the Santiago Bernabeu, but on the horizon looms the UEFA Champions League clash against Manchester City. Carlo Ancelotti's team knows they will face a squad that has invested over 200 million euros to strengthen their roster, now setting their sights on one of the jewels of the white club: Jude Bellingham.
Pep Guardiola has once again hinted at the possibility of bringing in the English midfielder to take over from Kevin De Bruyne, who seems poised to end his European spell and move to the MLS. The Catalan coach has expressed his admiration for the Madrid '5' on more than one occasion, revealing his desire to have had him in the past.
Bellingham, the perfect heir for De Bruyne
City is starting to come to terms with the inevitable departure of their captain, due to the physical issues he has faced in recent seasons. "He is a key player for us, but his continuity will depend on many factors," said Guardiola, hinting that the club is already working on a top-level replacement. In this regard, the name of Bellingham is once again in the spotlight.
However, as reported on DefensaCentral, Real Madrid is not willing to entertain offers for their star. Bellingham, for his part, is not considering leaving the Santiago Bernabeu, where he has become a fundamental pillar. "When Real Madrid calls you, there is nothing to think about," expressed the Englishman in a recent interview, making it clear that money is not the deciding factor in his decision.
