Arrived at Real Madrid for 5 million euros in 2015, when he was considered one of the biggest Spanish hopes, Jesus Vallejo never managed to win in Madrid, being put in the closet almost all the time. Now, at 28, he will try to relaunch himself in Albacete, in the Spanish second division. And in an interview with The Athletiche explained how he agreed to give his number 5 to Bellingham.
“When the club signed Jude, they told me that he loved the number 5 that had belonged to Zidane. I did not need to be convinced, I told them that obviously I gave him number 5 without problem. A minute later, Jude sent me a long, very moved message in private. Then during the preseason he thanked me a lot. He is someone who seems much older than what his identity card says. He has a very good mentality, I was delighted to give him the number before knowing him, and even more after having known him ”explained the Spaniard.
