(Football News) After months of rumors and discussions, Jude Bellingham has been presented as a Real Madrid player. The Englishman rejected a number of other clubs to join Real Madrid. It is very well known that Zinedine Zidane is Jude Bellingham’s idol which is why he chose the number 5 jersey. Now all eyes will be on Carlo Ancelotti and how he uses Bellingham at Real Madrid. Even though there hasn’t been an official confirmation on the renewal of Dani Ceballos, Toni Kroos, and Luka Modric; they are all expected to stay. Real Madrid will have a total of 7 midfielders in the first team and all of them are good enough to start.

Jude Bellingham is a complete midfielder who can play as a 6, 8 and 10. That will be Real Madrid’s strength as all their midfielders bar Aurélien Tchouaméni are versatile. Choosing a midfield would be a constant headache for Carlo Ancelotti but it is a good one. Luka Modric just showed in the UEFA Nations League semi-final against the Netherlands that is still around and capable of playing at the highest level. Toni Kroos is also still playing at a high level. Fede Valverde, Aurélien Tchouaméni, and Eduardo Camavinga have already shown their capabilities and next season they will be even better. 

Dani Ceballos is likely to be a squad player who will be called upon when needed. In the first season, there is a chance that Jude Bellingham doesn’t play week in and week out as it is a new club and a new league for him. Despite his high €103M fee Jude Bellingham is still 19 years old, so even if he takes a couple of seasons to settle in it will be normal. Playing with the likes of Luka Modric and Toni Kroos will be a massive learning experience for Jude Bellingham as it will elevate his own game to another level.
