In a recent report, Marca stated that Real Madrid are determined to sign Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham. It has been claimed that Los Blancos are eyeing a move to secure the services of the England international at the end of this season.
Bellingham’s Impressive Form In Club And International Football
The 19-year-old is having another fine campaign for both his club and country as he has been responsible for putting in a string of eye-catching displays at the centre of the park. Bellingham has participated in 22 matches for the German club this season, netting nine goals and providing three assists in all competitions.
The Stourbridge-born talent has been a consistent performer for Dortmund based on his average of 3.2 tackles, 1.4 interceptions, 1.1 clearances, 2.1 shots, 1.0 key passes and 2.0 dribbles per game in Bundesliga. He has even been excellent when distributing the ball from midfield, as evidenced by his pass success rate of 82.5% in the German top tier (stats via whoscored).
His current contract at the Signal Iduna Park is set to run out in 2025. Thus, it makes sense for Los Blancos to arrange a big-money move for him next summer.
Is Bellingham A Dream Signing For Real Madrid Head Coach Carlo Ancelotti?
Bellingham is a good tackler of the ball and can read the danger well to secure the ball back for his team in the middle of the park. The English talent doesn’t mind putting his foot through the ball when the opposition are on the offensive. Bellingham can strike the ball with venom and accuracy from long range. He can even create some promising chances for his teammates on the attacking end of the pitch.
The England international can complete some dangerous dribbles with the ball in the opponent’s half. Hence, he ticks all the right boxes in terms of what Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti demands from his midfielders.
Bellingham could serve as an ideal replacement for Luka Modric, who has entered the last stage of his playing career at the Madrid club. Plus, he will undoubtedly help Los Blancos challenge for plenty of major silverware over the next decade.
At 19, the gifted midfielder has got the potential to become a success story at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. With all things considered, Bellingham will be a dream signing for the Madrid giants to consider next summer as long as they have the funds to pull off such a transfer.
