Caught in the act! Jude Bellingham drops a Kylian Mbappe transfer clue to Real Madrid ahead of the FIFA Best Awards. What could this mean

Jude Bellingham has already made his feelings clear on reports linking Kylian Mbappe with a move to Real Madrid.

Over the past few seasons, French superstar Mbappe has often been linked with a move away from Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint Germain.

Back in 2022, it was widely reported that Mbappe was close to joining Madrid but he then made a last-minute u-turn to sign a new deal at the Parc des Princes.

With his contract set to expire at the end of the current season, the rumors about Mbappe’s future will continue to swirl.

Earlier in the month, it was reported that Liverpool have become the most credible and dangerous candidate for PSG regarding Mbappe’s future.

However, Madrid reported remains the heavy favorite to snap up the PSG star in the summer.

Back in June, during his Madrid unveiling, Bellingham was asked about Mbappe joining him at the club.

He said: “I can’t really comment, I don’t know his situation. If anything, my whole saga has taught me that not everything you see is true.

“He’s a great player, whatever he chooses to do, all the best to him. Would I like to play with a player like Kylian Mbappe? Who wouldn’t?”

After PSG won the French Super Cup earlier in the month, Mbappe spoke about his future.

He said: “First of all, I am very, very, very motivated for this year. It is very important. As I said, we have titles to chase and we’ve already won one, so that’s already done. After that, no, I haven’t made a decision yet.

“In any case, with the agreement I made with the president this summer, it does not matter what he decides. We manage to protect all parties and preserve the serenity of the club for the challenges that lie ahead, which continues to be the most important thing.”

He continued: “So we’ll say it’s secondary. I think it was at the end of May 2022 because I didn’t know until May. But if I know what I want to do, why drag it out? It just doesn’t make sense.”
