Real Madrid target’s family pushing for Premier League move – report
The drama around Jude Bellingham’s hyped summer transfer refuses to die down. Every time one party appears close to stealing the favourites’ tag, the equation is thrown back into equal balance by a fresh update.
According to reports from Matteo Moretto, there is still no final decision as to where the English midfielder will go in the summer. This is primarily because of conflicting interests between the player and his family.
Bellingham’s family prefer to move to England and thus continue to push for their son to move to the Premier League. With Liverpool and Manchester City both interested, the youngster has no shortage of options.
Yet, the teenager himself has a great fascination for Real Madrid, and the Merengues are aware of this fact. Needless to say, Florentino Perez wishes to capitalise on the advantage and use it to the team’s benefit.
The opportunity to sign for Real Madrid does not come twice in the career of most footballers and is a chance that very few turn down. After all, the club represents the epitome of football and is the most decorated institution in the history of the game.
In addition to just the tag of being associated with the historical club, Bellingham also sees a real opportunity of succeeding at Santiago Bernabeu. With Luka Modric and Toni Kroos nearing the end of their careers, there is a real void that needs to be filled and is begging for the Borussia Dortmund star’s arrival.
It is safe to say that the player’s decision will prove to be more binding than the wishes of his family in deciding his future. However, one must note that the economic demands from the German club are equally as important. Real Madrid are prepared to shell out a significant fee but have drawn the line clearly on how far they are willing to go.
In what will come as a pleasing development for fans, Fabrizio Romano reports that Real Madrid forward Rodrygo could make a comeback from his injury earlier than expected.
The 25-year-old Brazilian international has been out of action since March after suffering an ACL injury during a La Liga game against Getafe.
Due to the complete rupture of the ACL, coupled with associated meniscus damage, it was suggested that the attacker was staring at a lengthy time out on the sidelines and might not return until 2027.
In fact, the forward’s father, Eric Goes, recently stated in an interview that the Real Madrid ace could be back in February next year, just before the business end of the campaign.
Rodrygo could be back in December
However, as per the update from Romano, Rodrygo’s comeback could happen well before that expected date.
Indeed, if things continue to progress at the current rate, the 25-year-old attacker might return to action in December or by January 2027 at the latest.
This will come as a welcome boost for Jose Mourinho & co., considering that Rodrygo is a valuable player for the team.
Even though he had endured a tough spell prior to his form, the Brazilian’s versatility, work rate off the ball, and eye for a goal make him an asset.
Rodrygo eager to be back at his best
The update from Romano further states that Rodrygo feels very grateful to Real Madrid for all the help and support they have given him during this difficult phase of his career.
As such, the Brazilian international has made it a mission to return to action in the best shape possible and make an impact from the get-go.
The attacker has only recently begun working on the pitch with the ball indicating the significant progress he has made on the road to recovery.
And, if there are no setbacks, Real Madrid could recover one of their ace attackers before the end of the current year.
So far in his career, Rodrygo has made 297 appearances for Real Madrid, scoring 71 goals. He has a contract with the club until 2028.
