According to information from Defensa Central, Real Madrid’s new signing, Jude Bellingham, is pushing for the club to recruit his compatriot, Marcus Rashford.
Transferred from Borussia Dortmund in exchange for 103 million euros, Jude Bellingham immediately won everyone over. Upon his arrival in the team under the guidance of Carlo Ancelotti, the 20-year-old Briton had an immediate impact, scoring 5 goals and providing an assist in his first 4 matches. This contribution is crucial at a time when Real Madrid no longer has a world-class striker following Karim Benzema’s departure to Saudi Arabia.
Having become a favorite among Bernabéu supporters and the Madrid media, Bellingham enjoys immense popularity. He feels so comfortable that he has even suggested to the club the recruitment of Manchester United star Marcus Rashford, according to information from Defensa Central, a Spanish media outlet.
Recently extended by the Red Devils until 2028, the Englishman had an impressive 2022/2023 season, with 30 goals and 11 assists in 56 matches across all competitions. It is still unclear whether Real Madrid is considering acting on this suggestion, but Bellingham reportedly said to his compatriot in the national team, “The number 9 is vacant, join us, you’ll love it.”
