Jude Bellingham addressed the allure of joining Real Madrid and clarified misconceptions surrounding his transfer last summer. “When Real Madrid knock on the door, it shakes the whole house” he stated, highlighting the prestige of the Spanish giants. Reflecting on the intense competition for his signature, Bellingham remarked, “My move to Liverpool was not as close as the media made out.” While carefully avoiding direct comparisons, he acknowledged Real Madrid’s unparalleled status, adding, “I don’t want to say anything disrespectful, but when Real Madrid arrive, it’s different level.”
Asked about his relationship with Trent Alexander-Arnold, who has been strongly linked with a move to Real Madrid as his Liverpool contract expires next summer, Bellingham commented, “Would I love to play with Trent? I already do with England! He’s a Liverpool player, and we are here. I think it’s disrespectful for me to speak about that.” However, he added, “He’s a good mate, we’ll see what happens.”
As Real Madrid considers a potential move for Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool is reportedly monitoring Rodrygo’s situation at the Spanish club. The 23-year-old forward has expressed frustration over a reduced role following the arrival of Kylian Mbappe, further intensifying the transfer speculation surrounding both clubs.
