Jude Bellingham has openly expressed his stance on the speculations surrounding Kylian Mbappe’s potential transfer to Real Madrid.
In recent seasons, the French superstar Mbappe has frequently been associated with a departure from Paris Saint-Germain, a topic that garnered attention back in 2022.

Reports suggested Mbappe was on the verge of joining Madrid, but he ultimately made a last-minute decision to extend his contract at the Parc des Princes.
As Mbappe’s contract approaches its end this season, speculations regarding his future are bound to persist.
Recent reports suggest that Liverpool has emerged as a leading and formidable contender for Mbappe’s services at PSG.
Despite this, Madrid is purportedly still the primary favorite to secure the PSG star during the summer transfer window.
In June, during his introduction at Madrid, Bellingham was questioned about the prospect of Mbappe joining him at the club.
He said: “I can’t really comment, I don’t know his situation. If anything, my whole saga has taught me that not everything you see is true.
“He’s a great player, whatever he chooses to do, all the best to him. Would I like to play with a player like Kylian Mbappe? Who wouldn’t?”
Following PSG’s triumph in the French Super Cup earlier this month, Mbappe discussed his future.
He said: “First of all, I am very, very, very motivated for this year. It is very important. As I said, we have titles to chase and we’ve already won one, so that’s already done. After that, no, I haven’t made a decision yet.
“In any case, with the agreement I made with the president this summer, it does not matter what he decides. We manage to protect all parties and preserve the serenity of the club for the challenges that lie ahead, which continues to be the most important thing.”
He added: “So we’ll say it’s secondary. I think it was at the end of May 2022 because I didn’t know until May. But if I know what I want to do, why drag it out? It just doesn’t make sense.”
