Recruited at a high price by Real Madrid, Jude Bellingham makes everyone agree in Spain. Indeed, the English midfielder, who is currently treating a shoulder injury contracted against Rayo Vallecano (0-0) this weekend, has been shining since he arrived from Borussia Dortmund. With 13 registered and 3 assists in 14 appearances in all competitions with the Merengues, the 20-year-old player is essential to his team.
If Jude Bellingham continues his remarkable performances with the White House, Chelsea may, for its part, harbor regrets. As reported The Sun this Wednesday, former coach and Blues legend Frank Lampard revealed in Obi One Podcast, his former partner in London, that he had tried everything to convince his management to sign him at the time when the Real Madrid playmaker was reciting his scales in Birmingham. But given the price demanded by the rival club Aston Villa for a 16-year-old player at the time (i.e. €23 million), the London management dropped the deal: “When I was manager at Chelsea (between 2019 and 2021), I was desperate to bring in Jude Bellingham. But I couldn’t get him to the next floor. “Managers rejected the idea of ​​paying ÂŁ20 million for someone of his age.”
