WOOHOO first comment
God my life is so sad…😂
😂😂😂already a superstar😂
Good on him – he didn't stay in England and have it easy. Instead he went abroad, made his name, and then skipped a level (aka Liverpool) to one of the biggest clubs.
This kid will be the best English player to EVER play in spain by the time he is finished and moves back to england. Bloody shame he is not coming to PL.
i was under the impression that to become a superstar of a team, you first need to at least play for them. maybe at least one match? ok, just one minute? or a second?
they probably gonna go for temp. solution, firmino .
Victor Osimhen would be perfect striker for Madrid and they could still buy Cancelo.
Tbh I’ve been impressed by Madrids new approach over the last few years. We just need a next level coach.
hold on, let him play first 😂
Dermot gives me mark Ogden vibes. Dude must annoy people by accident.
Acting like Real going for Bellingham is some sort of master stroke of savy market move is very odd. He's literally the most highly regarded young midfielder in the world
What is this title!!! He has not even started his Real career yet!! Again pathetic so called journalism!!! Get a life!!
Man hasnt even put a kit on yet 😂
I believe madrid should go and sign Gabriel Jesus from Arsenal. he will be a good enough to replace Bezema role in a short term when the time come to sign Haland or Mbappe, Jesus can easily play in the wide. This will be a smart move for madrid. The only problem here is Arsenal would not sell Jesus unless a crazy offer come for him
Bring on journalists who don't resent Madrid please. Only when covering Madrid please.
The reduction in wages to players that don't play has been a large relief to RM's budget.
Hazard, Isco, Marcelo, Bale.
I thought the athletic were better than this headline..🤦♂️
I don’t get the confusion with Madrid apparently having to “find money” to spend. They’re the richest club in the world that’s well run it’s not hard to imagine them spending hundreds of million annually let alone every 3/4 years.
Have I been in a coma?
Signing Bellingham had nothing to do with him being English 😂🤦.. English players are not Brazilians and Real Madrid doesn't need the English market.
Why do British people always want to make everything about them??
"Shrewd" is absolutely the wrong terminology to use when describing Real Madrid. 2 100M Euro signings in consecutive summers.
Left field option, a lukaku loan🤷🏾♂️
It's only seen as super shrewd business because that's how the media paint it for Madrid. If City spent this money there would be another slew of articles about how football is ruined.
One of the best parts about going to Madrid is that he’ll be rotated in and out of the lineup. He’s played way too many mins at such a young age. If he went to Liverpool they’d drive him into the ground
Why is he talking about football after killing John Lennon?
