Erling Haaland Praises Jude Bellingham’s Remarkable Start at Real Madrid

Jude Bellingham’s early performances at Real Madrid have been nothing short of remarkable. In just four LaLiga matches, the 20-year-old midfielder has scored five goals and provided one assist, including match-winning contributions against Celta Vigo and Getafe.

Real Madrid acquired Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund during the summer transfer window for a fee exceeding €100 million, and he has wasted no time in showcasing his worth in the Spanish capital.

Bellingham’s impressive form has caught the attention of fans and pundits across Europe, and one of those admirers is his former teammate at Dortmund, Erling Haaland, who later joined Manchester City in the summer of 2022. Speaking to L’Equipe, Haaland expressed his delight at Bellingham’s exceptional start:

“I have seen Jude’s incredible start at Real Madrid, and I am very happy for him.”

Rumors have circulated that Haaland could potentially reunite with Bellingham at Real Madrid next summer when the release clause in his Manchester City contract becomes active. However, Manchester City is determined to retain Haaland’s services at the Etihad Stadium.
