Jude Bellingham is off to an incredible start in his career with Real Madrid. The 20-year-old joined from Borussia Dortmund in a transaction of an initial €103 million, and in the early stages of the season, he has established himself as the team’s face.
Bellingham is currently leading the La Liga scoring charts with five goals in his four official appearances for Real Madrid.
The England international has made an impression at the Spanish capital club with his maturity and leadership in a very short period of time.
Bellingham’s impressive debut in Madrid has also attracted attention, with the young player receiving acclaim from all quarters.
Bellingham’s debut pleased Erling Haaland.
Erling Haaland, a star for Manchester City and a target for Real Madrid, stated in a recent interview with France Football (via L’Equipe) that he had witnessed Bellingham make his debut for the Spanish club and was quite pleased with how things are going.
Before Haaland went for Manchester City last year, Bellingham and he met at Borussia Dortmund.
And the Real Madrid-targeted Norwegian striker shared his happiness at how his former buddy was doing in Spain.
By the way, I saw Jude Bellingham (a former teammate at Dortmund) have a wonderful debut for Real Madrid, and it makes me extremely happy for him, added Haaland.
Future teammates who were once teammates?
It’s still possible that Bellingham and Haaland will team up again at Real Madrid as they previously played together at Dortmund.
Longtime admirers of the Norwegian, Los Blancos consider him, along with Kylian Mbappe, as a possible addition to their attacking lineup for the upcoming season, particularly if the latter signs a new deal with PSG.
