Jude Bellingham Explains His Real Madrid Move
Introduction
Liverpool had been building up to sign Jude Bellingham, but the fees involved meant they had to draw a line in their pursuit. Now, the midfielder has explained the reasons for his Real Madrid move.
The Financials of the Move
The figure for the move was inflated for agent fees and wages, among others, and Liverpool thought it best to spread that cost among a number of players rather than one generational talent.
Bellingham’s Decision
Bellingham explained his decision to join Real Madrid during a press conference in front of the Spanish press on Thursday. He said that he was sold on the club after a meeting at his house and that he didn’t think about money when making the decision. He also said that he loved the feeling he got from the club and wanted the move to happen quickly.
Moving On
It is time we all moved on, Bellingham obviously has, and with Alexis Mac Allister already added to the fold we look ahead to who will follow. Khephren Thuram, Ryan Gravenberch, Manu Kone, Romeo Lavia and Gabri Veiga are among those strongly linked. Now it is up to Liverpool to get the right deals over the line.
