He saw that Luka Modric and Kroos are staying, what Bellingham says that surprises everyone

Jude Bellingham is already with Real Madrid and will join Carlo Ancelotti's team in the coming days for preseason training. The Spanish team has confirmed the stay of Toni Kroos and Luka Modric and unexpectedly, the club will continue with these two elements for next season reducing Jude Bellingham's minutes.

Jude Bellingham is, for the moment, Real Madrid's Galactico signing par excellence for the 2023-24 season. It is true that Los Blancos have also brought in Fran García, Brahim Díaz and Joselu Mato, but the latter three have a more secondary role, at least on paper.

Real Madrid has made an important bet on Bellingham. The 19-year-old Englishman has cost 103 million euros plus another 30 million euros in variables after having shone in recent seasons at Borussia Dortmund. Far from being intimidated, Jude has decided to wear the number 5 shirt worn at the Santiago Bernabeu by one of his idols, Zinedine Zidane.

What does Bellingham say about playing with Modric and Kroos?

Speaking to Sky Sports, he seems to be burning with the desire to make his debut for his new club: "I'm excited, it's like a dream for me. When asked about the word pressure, a term that is common and present in the white team, he does not hesitate to assume his responsibilities: "I have noticed the pressure in every step I have taken and that is what has made me be where I am. You just have to find a way to overcome it.
