Real Madrid are considering signing a midfielder to cover for Bellingham’s absence after surgery – reports
Jude Bellingham has become one of the most vocal players at Real Madrid. His influence goes beyond the pitch, and the club are expecting to feel his absence this summer following surgery.
According to The Athletic, “Real Madrid are NOT ruling out a midfield signing this summer. Jude Bellingham’s absence due to surgery may be a factor.”
The report adds that several things could affect the final decision. “Xabi Alonso’s first impression of the squad, the club’s performance in the Club World Cup, and whether players are sold will all be important.”
The club have been working behind the scenes. “Calafat and his staff have been preparing detailed reports on potential midfield targets for some time.”
The target is “a player with quality and a good touch who can help connect the team’s play in midfield.”
