No Mbappe, No problem; Real Madrid will depend heavily on this player for success in the next decade

Real Madrid has been willing to splash the cash on great players around the team and build a solid squad to compete in all competitions. Eduardo Camavinga, Tchouameni, Brahim Diaz, and more have complemented the team well. These players are heavily dependent on developing with the team's seniors to be the club's future.

With Mbappe still struggling to decide whether to stay at PSG or leave to join Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti and Florentino Perez seem content to stick with what they have right now. There are rumors of Mbappe possibly extending his contract with the French club, meaning it would take more money to convince the French striker.

Real Madrid may be missing a star striker they would like to have to be in the box, but with their current star players' performances, Madrid fans might be content to save up that potential money for Mbappe to be spent on a stronger squad.

Who is Real Madrid willing to depend on for years to come?

One player that comes to mind is their youngster Arda Guler, who finally debuted for Los Blancos in their Copa Del Rey fixture against Arandina. Guler played the first half and demonstrated his skills and technique, which wowed Madrid fans.

But the clear choice for Madrid to thrive this decade is Jude Bellingham. Bellingham has been a sensation this season and their top goal scorer in an attacking midfield role. Jude was purposely bought to complete the midfield, but his versatility makes the lives of the Real Madrid board easier to decide who to sign next.

Mbappe may bring eyes to Madrid games and improve the attack, but Bellinghams performances have made him a fan favorite. Even Real Madrid legend Marcelo acknowledges his great performances throughout the season and looks forward to watching more of him.

"He is my son Liam's idol, and he wanted to take a photo with him; I see him very well. He's had a very good start. We know that at Real Madrid, there is always room for improvement, but his start is tremendous, almost unbeatable," Marcelo stated.

Can Jude Bellingham be the man Real Madrid needed this whole time to carry them to more glory in Europe? Jude Bellingham has a great chance to prove his worth when he and Real Madrid travel to Saudi Arabia to play for the Supercopa de España this week. Their first obstacle is Atletico Madrid.
