Jude Bellingham discusses Real Madrid’s interest in Kylian Mbappe & Harry Kane.
Jude Bellingham, one of Real Madrid’s newest stars, was questioned about the club’s intentions to sign Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe this summer.
Bellingham signed a six-year contract in Madrid to finalize his long-awaited transfer to Los Blancos for an initial €103 million fee this week.
As is customary for all new Galacticos, Bellingham held a news conference to announce his arrival in Madrid and announced that he will be wearing the historic number five jersey worn by Zinedine Zidane while he was the club’s manager.
While the majority of questions centred on Bellingham and his devotion to Real Madrid, he was also questioned about a few other transfer-related issues.
Sky Sports first questioned him over the likelihood of his English teammate Kane joining him in Spain since Kane is one of the candidates Real Madrid has shortlisted to replace Karim Benzema.
“As far as the Harry Kane rumours go, I can’t comment on that,” Bellingham batted away. “He’s a world-class player, he’s my captain; I love him as a player and a person. Whatever happens there happens.”
The next question to Bellingham concerned Real Madrid’s protracted pursuit of Mbappe, who may depart PSG this summer after declaring he would not be signing a new deal.
“I can’t really comment, I don’t know his situation. If anything, my whole saga has taught me that not everything you see is true,” Bellingham added, before admitting he would like to rub shoulders with the Frenchman.
“He’s a great player, whatever he chooses to do, all the best to him. Would I like to play with a player like Kylian Mbappe? Who wouldn’t?”
