No matter how many times it’s brought up, it still boggles that mind that Jude Bellingham is only 20. The latest chapter in the generational talent’s likely-to-be legendary career was dominating a 3-1 victory for England over Italy at Wembley Stadium. Bellingham was sublime throughout, with the result booking the Three Lions’ place at Euro 2024.

Messi Finally Leaves Barcelona Due to Financial Crisis Stalling Contract Renewal
Who would have thought Lionel Messi will ever leave Barca? Well, free agent Leo Messi finally left Barcelona on 5th August 2021 due to financial crisis stalling his contract renewal. Yes, Barcelona signed free agents like Sergio Aguero and Memphis Depay only to make things financially impossible for them to re-sign their legend.
There has been a radical turnaround in the case of Lionel Messi’s renewal with Barcelona, with recent information being that the deal was close to being announced, yet a blockbuster revelation made it impossible for Barcelona to re-sign the Argentine star. Messi has ended his 17-year relationship with Camp Nou on a sad note. Nevertheless, he was already close to leaving his comfort zone last season but was forced to stay.
An Official statement from Barcelona said:
“Despite having reached an agreement between Barcelona and Leo Messi and with the clear intention of both parties to sign a new contract today, it will not be possible to formalize due to economic and structural obstacles (Spanish LaLiga regulations).
Faced with this situation, Lionel Messi will not continue to be linked to Barcelona. The two parties deeply regret that the wishes of both the player and the Club cannot finally be fulfilled.
Barça wants to thank with all the heart the player’s contribution to the aggrandizement of the institution and wishes him the best in his personal and professional life”.

Diario MARCA earlier published a report saying it was “almost impossible” that Messi will renew his FC Barcelona contract.
“There has been a radical turnaround in the case of Lionel Messi’s renewal with Barcelona, with recent information being that the deal was close to being announced, yet a blockbuster revelation has suggested that Barcelona will now not be able to re-sign the Argentine,” the Madrid-based paper said.
This news comes in stark contrast with previous reports, which claimed that an investment made by the company CVC into La Liga would make it easier for the Catalans to stay under the salary cap with Messi taking a 50% pay cut.
This new report says that while the cash injection would help, it would still keep the situation quite fraught in terms of the wage bill.
And one big complication is that were La Liga to accept the cash injection, the big teams would be forced to abandon the European Super League concept. This is something that Real Madrid and Barcelona are resistant to doing.
This means that, according to MARCA, we are left with “a situation whereby Barcelona extending Messi’s contract and moving forward with the Super League plans are impossible to do together.”
A report from Catalan radio says it is true that things are more complicated than first expected, making it impossible for Messi to continue at Barcelona.
What is Leo Messi’s next club after shocking Barca exit?
Oil-rich Manchester City and PSG can comfortably sign Leo Messi, but with Harry Kane seeking a move to the Etihad, Pep Gaurdiola may not reunite with the 33-year-old Messi. Messi is also a perfect fit for Manchester United who are searching for a lethal goalscorer, but it looks like they are not in a good position to bid for the Barca legend’s signature.

Jude Bellingham the best player in the world right now?
Right now yes because of the impact he has at both Real Madrid and the national team. What I like about him is that he knows there is always room to improve and I’m sure he’s gonna get even better. He’s only 20 years old. He’s learning from another two masters such as Modric and Kroos. If he continues like this the amount that Madrid had to pay for him will be consider a bargain.
Why Jadon Sancho is refusing to apologise to ten Hag
If you actually watch the man (not a boy) and appreciate what he is doing it is great but it’s just the start. There’s always someone who stands out in a team. Jude exudes confidence and has a very level head. Without injuries he may end up being one of the most decorated English players ever. It’s just a shame that Real Madrid got him rather than Liverpool. Haha!
Yeah right now, hes the best player in the world. A 20 year old playing like a 30 year old vet. Creates chances, scores goals, team player, passes well, great awareness, ball skills are on point.. everything.
Toni Kroos mocks Eden Hazard after Jude Bellingham Deal
At the moment Mbappe is the best and if he moves to Real Madrid you will see him establish that no.1 position for, at least, the next few years. I also think Mbappe will take centre stage at Madrid which always helps at these sorts of clubs when it comes to the ballon d’or. Jude’s time will come but not just yet.
Arguments for Guirassy at Stuttgart and Sané at Bayern being the only players more in form than Bellingham at the moment. As for best in world, it is still hard to look past Mbappé.
Jude Bellingham Unveiled As New Real Madrid Player
That’s what English pundits and media like to do. Hype their players who are in form as if they are the next Messi or Ronaldo. No doubt Jude has immense talent, and potential to be an all-time great, but how many young players were called that. He probably is in the best form, but not even 1/3 of the season is over and he is the best player already? Come on. What has he won, Halaand won a treble, Mbappe won a World Cup and was in the last final.

I’m very sad to see him
Lucky enough to see him play live. One of the most talented footballers to have ever played the game. I’ll never forget the game when Chelsea trashed Everton and the 1-2’s with Pedro for him to score the 4th goal of the match.
At his peak one of the very best about, and he’s right up there alongside Rooney and Fabregas as one of the best 16-17 year old players I’ve ever seen play the game at full professional level.
