Few know this, the time that Jude Bellingham was able to play for FC Barcelona

Jude Bellingham adapted to the world of Real Madrid in the best way. With seven goals in eight games, the English midfielder has carried the team on his shoulder and has shown that, when you are good, you do not need a period to adapt to a great team. For now, the former Borussia Dortmund player has managed to justify the large sum of 103 million euros that Real Madrid paid for his signing, and the fans are going crazy with his presence.

Merengue's new number five has even received comparisons with none other than Zinedine Zidane. Jude Bellingham has a great connection with Real Madrid fans, who imitate his traditional celebration and even recognize him with his own song: Hey Jude! However, in the past, things could have been totally different from how we are narrating them. Jude Bellingham could have once played for FC Barcelona.

Some time ago, a story was leaked in which Jude Bellingham's father stood FC Barcelona up in a meeting, due to unknown reasons. The information was revealed by Bojan Krkic, former scout and father of someone who knew how to play for the culé in an interview. Diario As points out that the specific reason for the absence was because La Masía had signed another footballer with the same conditions as Bellingham, and his father did not want to remove him from where he was to send him to a competition with that new young man. Bellingham ended up playing for Birmingham in his country, and the rest is known history. Today he enjoys being a new Real Madrid player.

Modric could also play for FC Barcelona

Another of the Real Madrid players who could also be part of the culé squad was Luka Modric. The same protagonist revealed in the same interview that the Croatian was also one of those who could play for FC Barcelona but that, unlike Bellingham, they were the ones who gave up on his signing. The reason was because Andrés Iniesta was joining the first team, and they did not want to bring in anyone who could slow down his progress. Luckily, the legend ended up winning everything with the Valdebebas club.
