Jude Bellingham breaks silence amid Real Madrid transfer rumours

Jude Bellingham might be the hottest name on the football transfer market next summer, with clubs like Real Madrid, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City and several others being linked with the English midfielder, who has developed into one of the best midfielders in the Bundesliga at Borussia Dortmund.

It is hard to believe that Bellingham is still just 19 years of age. It feels like he has been around for years and not only has he proven himself in the German domestic competitions but in the Champions League. In fact, he seems to raise his levels in Europe and has already captained Borussia Dortmund, despite being a teenager.

It goes without saying that Bellingham is a special talent and it is not hard to see why so many clubs are looking to sign him. What is on his mind though?

Well, it looks like Bellingham’s full focus is on Borussia Dortmund and winning games for them. As reported by Metro, the Englishman said regarding the speculation over his future:

"‘In all honesty I’m not thinking about anything like that [the transfer rumours].‘You [the media] will be angry with me as you won’t get a headline, but I’m just focused on the next games with Borussia Dortmund.‘I’m not even thinking about the World Cup. I’m trying to win games with Borussia Dortmund and then we’ll see what happens.’"

It is safe to say that there won’t be any lack of interest if Bellingham did end up leaving Borussia Dortmund next summer.

Someone like him could be a terrific signing for Real Madrid, with the long-term futures of Luka Modric, Toni Kroos and Dani Ceballos unclear.

But it won’t be easy to sign him. Not only will there be incredible competition to win the race for the Englishman’s signature but Borussia Dortmund are also expected to look for a transfer fee higher than €100 million to even consider letting Bellingham leave the club. Thus, let’s see what the future holds for him and if Real Madrid are able to sign him. Some recent rumours have suggested though that Los Blancos are leading the race.
