The La Liga giants, Real Madrid have signed Jude Bellingham from German side Borussia Dortmund for 103 million Euros on a six-year contract. The English midfielder gave his first press conference as a Madrid player and he was asked various questions right from why he rejected Liverpool to Kylian Mbappe’s transfer rumors.
Real Madrid are heavily linked to the PSG forward and moreover, now, he has relayed to the club that the youngster will not extend beyond 2024 but wants to stay for the next season. However, the Parisian club reportedly want to offload the French star and not lose him for free, opening the gate for Madrid and other clubs.
The 19-year-old was asked about the prospect of Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe possibly joining the club. Bellingham replied, "As far as the Harry Kane rumors, I can’t comment on that. He’s a world-class player, my captain for the national team, and I love him as a player and as a person."

The British midfielder continued and replied to the possibility of playing with Mbappe, "I don’t know his situation. I’ve seen some of it on the Internet and on Twitter. If anything, my whole saga has taught me that not everything that you see online is true, so don’t take it word for word. In all honesty, he’s a great player and whatever he chooses to do, all the best to him. Would I like to play with a player like Kylian Mbappé? Who wouldn’t?"
