Jude Bellingham

One of the last players sold by Real would be Valverde. He can play in multiple positions, has a hell of an engine and has been at the club for many years now, plus he's still in his early-mid 20's.

Real would be more likely to sell someone like Tchouameni in a couple years if he's not performing to the level expected or a better opportunity comes along. Others like Ozil, James, Di Maria, Jovic etc experienced similar fates.

Valverde will stay, he's class & shows up when needed.

Tchouameni more likely to leave or even camavinga.

But they do need someone with a bit of finesse in midfield.

Aye he just didnt fancy showing up that much in league or when FDJ ran midfield multiple times v Real.

Must have just not fancied it.

Never mind he will take over games v City as always show up.

Probably because after Pep leaves nobody knows how attractive/good City will be. Madrid will always be a premium destination.
Imo Pep is unlikely to leave City in the near future, he has the perfect conditions there and surely they had already discussed that aspect since the first contacts between the parts.
City is the richer better team sporting wise with the better players and the best coach around and it's a club within his native country.

Atm the premium destination is City. But don't get why Madrid are more heavily linked to the player than City.

Yeah but Bellingham plays for England, so even if things don't work at Madrid he'll still be able to move to pretty much any Premier League team he wants. The Madrid opportunity might never come around again.

Imo vice versa is equally possible.

Madrid's future's very questionable obviously without Benz, Modric, Kroos, and with an over reactive Vini. No doubt about City's continued dominance.

No brainer decision for Real Madrid. At best they get a generational talent that can play in their midfield for over a decade. At worst he's not up to scratch and can sell to an english club who'd still take a punt at 70m+. Gutted I have to dislike this guy now

I shouldn’t like him but I can’t help it. I look forward to seeing him in La Liga.

Top, top player.
