Jude Bellingham has been one of Real Madrid's most influential players since the season he arrived. Since the first time he wore the white badge, he has consistently asserted the quality he carries and the responsibility of the number he wears.
The Englishman's return to the midfield produces instant effects, as his ability to break down gaps and prevent dangerous plays has not gone unnoticed in recent years. The player is here to assist Real Madrid in every manner possible.
Bellingham, however, helps Los Blancos not just on the pitch, but also off it.
Jude Bellingham convinced superstar to move for Real Madrid
The emergence of superstars like Bellingham is unusual and so valuable. Another English talent is expected to join forces with his countryman in Madrid soon.
Real Madrid are on the approach of acquiring Liverpool superstar Trent Alexander Arnold, and it has been reported that Jude Bellingham had a significant role in encouraging the right-back to join Los Blancos.
Know that Bellingham and Trent are close friends who have frequently shared the field with the national team. The two have formed a solid connection in the England team, and Bellingham appears to have put some of their friendship to use.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Bellingham was a major talker to Trent about Real Madrid. Every time the two players met and chatted, the 21-year-old made a point of telling Trent about his experience in Madrid.
Fabrizio said, "In terms of the city, football club, private life, group of players, mentality, the magic nights at the Bernabeu, all these kinds of things, Jude was always telling Trent. So, Jude was being a big sponsor for Real Madrid in this story. I’m not saying it made a difference, but I’m saying it has been a factor. Jude was pushing for Trent to join."
Trent Alexander Arnold is now on the verge of signing with the Merengues. The player has spurned all contract discussions with Liverpool and is solely interested in a move elsewhere. No other club appears to be any closer in the race. Real Madrid is said to have presented official contract proposals to the player's entourage, and a definitive confirmation might come anytime soon.
