In a recent report, Sport mentioned that Real Madrid are set to step up their pursuit of Borussia Dortmund ace Jude Bellingham. It has been revealed that Los Blancos are hoping to step up their efforts to sign the England international.
Bellingham’s Brilliant Run Of Form At Signal Iduna Park
Bellingham is having another outstanding campaign in Germany as he has continued to perform at a very high level for both his club and country this year. The English midfield ace has banged in nine goals and picked up three assists in 22 matches for Dortmund this season across multiple competitions.
The 19-year-old has proven his worth as a world-class midfielder by averaging 3.2 tackles, 1.4 interceptions, 1.1 clearances, 2.1 shots, 1.0 key passes 2.0 dribbles per 90 minutes in the Bundesliga. He has even been exceptional when distributing possession from midfield after completing 82.5% of his attempted passes in the German top-flight (stats via whoscored).
His current contract with Dortmund will run out in the summer of 2025. Plus, he recently enjoyed a good 2022 FIFA World Cup tournament with England. Hence, Los Blancos will have to make a big offer if they want to win the race to land Bellingham next year.
Is Bellingham A Dream Signing For Real Madrid Boss Carlo Ancelotti?
Bellingham can get stuck in with some solid tackles to make life difficult for the opposition in the middle of the pitch. He can also make a few vital interceptions for his team and doesn’t hesitate to clear the danger when the opposition are on the offensive.
The 22-time England international can strike the ball with power and precision from all ranges and has got the vision to create some decent plays for his teammates in the final third. He can even make some dangerous runs with the ball toward the opponent’s penalty area.
Hence, Los Blancos should prioritize on getting a deal done for Bellingham as he will serve as an ideal replacement for Luka Modric at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in the long run. He could even go on to form a solid midfield partnership with Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni at the Madrid club in the coming seasons.
We can expect Bellingham to enhance the quality of Carlo Ancelotti‘s first team considerably and help them compete for a lot of major honours over the next decade. Thus, he will be a dream signing for Real Madrid to pull off next year.
