What now Jude Bellingham is playing at the level of the best – if not the best – footballers in Europe, many voices have been raised in a pitiful tone for not signing him before the real Madrid.
One of the last is that of Frank Lamparda whole institution in Chelsea who even went through their banks at two stages and, according to his speech, were ‘tired’ of asking the English player to sign for the London team.
He mentioned it to his former partner John Obi Mikel in a podcast started by a Nigerian under the name ‘The Obi One’ in a few words reported by As newspaper. “When he directed the Chelsea I’m desperate to bring Bellingham. But I can’t recover. “They rejected the idea of paying 20 million pounds (about €23M) for someone of their age,” commented the English coach.
Gradually, the price of the player became expensive until last summer, when he was signed real Madrid, it cost Real Madrid more than 100 million euros. A figure that, seeing the current performance, seems profitable.
