The Englishman is on the verge of becoming a new Real Madrid player. According to Carlos Carpio, a journalist for the newspaper Marca: "The outcome of yesterday's game will have no impact on Jude Bellingham's decision. He told Manchester City ten days ago that he was grateful, but he wanted to join Real Madrid. He has also informed Borussia Dortmund to reach an agreement for his transfer."

Furthermore, he says, "Modric has been notified that Jude Bellingham is coming, and they have told him that his presence on the pitch will reduce." If the Croatian wants to stay at Real Madrid, he will have to play fewer minutes than Bellingham will when he arrives. It seems that we are getting closer to reality.
