The work at Real Madrid continues without pause as the club focuses not only on the current 2024-25 season but also looks ahead to the challenges of the 2025-26 campaign. Aware of the hurdles that lie ahead, the club is diligently preparing for the future.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side is set to face their first major test of the year tonight at Mestalla, a challenge that will be far from easy. Despite the difficulties, the team is expected to secure the three points in this crucial match.
According to the Spanish newspaper “Defensa Central”, Jude Bellingham’s impact at Real Madrid extends beyond just his performances on the field.
The club aims to leverage his influence in several areas, particularly in strengthening the squad in the near future. Bellingham, much like Vinicius Junior, plays a key role in enhancing the club’s chances of signing players such as Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alphonso Davies. Both players, nearing the end of their contracts with Liverpool and Bayern Munich respectively, are seen as viable transfer targets for Real Madrid.
However, Bellingham’s targets go beyond these defenders. The English midfielder has expressed a strong desire to bolster the team further by bringing in his younger brother, Jobe Bellingham. This request, first reported by “El Nacional” earlier last year, highlights Jude’s determination to influence the club’s transfer strategy.
This move is also strategically timed, capitalizing on Jude’s popularity with the fans at the Santiago Bernabéu, where he has become one of the team’s standout icons. His popularity with the supporters, coupled with his influence, allows him to make such requests, with the first being the signing of his 19-year-old brother, Jobe, a professional footballer in his own right.
While bringing Jobe to Real Madrid is not a current priority, Jude continues to dream of playing alongside his brother in the famous white shirt.
