Jude Bellingham reveals the ‘biggest dream’ he has for his career.
Jude Bellingham is the most desired midfielder in the world right now, with Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Manchester City all interested in signing him this summer. Manchester United, Chelsea, and Paris Saint-Germain are all on the radar.
Yet, while the 19-year-old has all the potential in the world to become the best player in the world in the coming years and perhaps join any club he wants, it appears that his most desired career success is on the international stage.
In November 2020, Bellingham earned his senior England debut at the age of 17, and since then, he has played an increasingly important role in Gareth Southgate’s squad.

The youngster, who doesn’t turn 20 until the summer, was a bench player at Euro 2020 but has been a starter since early 2022 and earned rave reviews for his performances at the World Cup in Qatar at the end of last year.
He has already led Dortmund on a few occasions this year, and he has acknowledged that leading England is the “greatest honour” he could hope to get.
“That would be the biggest dream and the biggest honour in football, I think, is to captain your country,” he told Channel 4 after England’s Euro 2024 qualifying win over Ukraine on Sunday.
“There’s a long pecking order that I highly respect and I’ll wait my turn. In the meantime, it’s picking up what I can learn from [more senior players]. This is the best place to do it.”
