Bellingham requests the departure of the Real Madrid midfielder before agreeing to sign
Jude Bellingham is asking a lot of Real Madrid in order to agree to sign. First of all, it will be necessary to pay more than 120 million euros for his signature, which is the exit price that his club Borussia Dortmund is now setting.
And the matter does not end there, because in the same way he demands a high salary, to match the large salaries offered to him from other teams, such as Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea…
Of course, the England international would not accept a project incapable of winning every title ever. So he’s also eyeing a star-studded ensemble, where he’ll play the main role and be the undisputed mainstay.
He won’t leave Signal Iduna Park to be a substitute at his new destination, and if Florentino Perez doesn’t promise him that, he knows there will be no way to announce his arrival.
The former Birmingham City player is certainly hoping the chairman will secure the exit of a player who is currently untouchable for Carlo Ancelotti, making room for him to start.
The player in question is Toni Kroos, whose contract expires in June, and at the moment he does not want to give any hints about his future. He has not confirmed whether he will continue or retire, all he has said is that he still has to carefully consider his options.
Bellingham wants to take advantage of this to push Real Madrid to withdraw the renewal offer it made to him a few months ago, and thus get rid of the German midfielder.
This will make things easier for him so that he can establish himself as a starting player at the Santiago Bernabeu, as he fears that due to the presence of the World Cup champion in Brazil, he will have to share the position with him. It is a request that the President wishes to accept.
Florentino Perez must think about the future of the club, and you cannot compare a player who will be 33 years old in January, and another who is only 19 years old, and he still has room to shine strongly, which he did in the World Cup in Qatar.
Real Madrid received good news recently, after learning that Bellingham is giving priority to wearing the white shirt. He’s not ruling out any option, obviously, but the idea that seems to appeal to him the most is the idea of relegation in La Liga.
It doesn’t mean anything, and there is still plenty of time for all sorts of surprises to happen. But Florentino Pérez knows he has a slight advantage over the rest of the clubs.
