I don't understand this.
So many hype after bellingham decides to use number 5.
It's too much indeed when the choice of number 5 bellingham is associated with Zidane in the past, of course there will be a separate burden if the burden must be like Zidane attached to bellingham.
To whom much is given, much is expected. Jude Bellingham has been the hype of the internet since last season and the young English guy is living upto the hype. The gift of the iconic no 5 jersey is an honour and prestige.
Concerning his position in the midfield when there's Kroos and Modric. I do not think there will be any kind of contention. Jude will always start for Ancelotti and the old guys are aware of it that they are there for the experience and flawles transition to the younger ones.
From the comment Mbappe made concerning Messi's departure, it's obvious he's not happy with the club. For him to openly tell the club that he's not renewing his contract the moment it comes to an end in 2024. PSG has found themselves in a very tight corner and they would not want one of their highly talented player to leave for free and would have no other choice than to sell him this summer.
Since the renewal of Mbappe's contract where he was given rights and incentive more than the other two super stars, things has not been well with the club, the trio stars and the fans. Mbappe is at PSG against his will but for money. But with his recent statement, it is obvious to the blind that he is not the candidate of PSG.
He eyes champions league;
He eyes Balon D'or
I don't know if Manchester United has interest or he would even like to come English, but the only way this deal can be feasible is if Sheikh Jassim is successful with Manchester United takeover. His preferred destination as always been Real Madrid.
His arrival in the English team may cause a set to Erik Ten Hag's recent success. You have to convince Brunno to give up roles and you have to review wages of other players and more. Manchester United isn't prepared for such dramas until they are stabilised again.
