News have already started. Jude Bellingham is joining Real Madrid.
The Dortmund star set his final goodbye to the club in his previous match which cost the Dortmund their title. The transfer is almost complete with only few procedure left.
But, are the la liga giants in need of the expensive transfer?
He will be signing a 6 year contract which will expire in 2029. Real Madrid were left to make a bid in the race whereas City already made a bid to the 19 year Old star. After Bellingham confirmed that he prefers Madrid over City, official bid was made from Real Madrid for £108million.
So, IS it Flop Or Hit ?
A lot of Madrid fans believe that Madrid should seek a striker rather than the mid part. As Benzema contract is coming to end and gradual increase in the age of Benzema has left Madrid fans worried for a finisher. They believe, Valverde, Camaving, Tchouameni, Modric and Kroos has the mid-field secured.
But Who is there at the up front? After Camavinga has moved his position as LB, it might be a steal for Madrid to have Bellingham as a center Mid and there is of course Valvarde, technically a winger, defender and finisher to back him up in defensive mid. With the vision of Kroos and magic of Modric at side by side, the Dortmund star is expected to perform well in the field.
There are some fans that worry Bellingham might be one season wonderer or flop transfer that will cost Madrid a lot. Similar to Gareth Bale and Eden Hazard who were expected to perform at their best, will Bellingham be a flop or a hit to Real Madrid?
We will never know until, the transfer has been confirmed!
