Jude Bellingham Next Club Odds: Liverpool, Man City, Man Utd and Real Madrid linked
Jude Bellingham was one of England’s stand-out players at the 2022 World Cup and whenever someone performs well at a major tournament, they put themselves on all the big teams' radars.
Jude has been the subject of many transfer rumours throughout the year and clubs from all around Europe are expected to be in for the midfielder.
We’ve looked at his potential transfer odds for the upcoming window in January...
Liverpool
Liverpool come in as the current 5/1 favourites to sign the midfielder with Boylesports, compared to 3/1 elsewhere.
Jurgen Klopp’s side have been calling for a midfielder for what seems like years now and with Henderson aging, Keita not being the midfielder they thought he was and Thiago being injury prone, a player like Jude Bellingham could be the rock that they need.
Nearly every day during the summer transfer window, there was a new story about Bellingham and his links to Liverpool, he was even recently asked by a journalist at the 2022 World Cup about his future and if he will end up playing at Anfield...whilst he was doing a joint interview with Jordan Henderson! Many Liverpool fans were excited during the World Cup as it looked like the Liverpool captain was spending a suspicious amount of time with Jude.
It’s no secret that Liverpool are interested in the midfielder but the club will need to splash the cash to get his signature. They’ll also be up against nearly every big club in Europe and some of the best teams in the Premier League like Manchester City.
Manchester City
Man City have recently seen their odds to sign Bellingham in January shorten a fair bit to around the 5/1 mark. We all know Manchester City are not shy of flexing their cash and they are another team that could probably benefit from more depth in the midfield.
If you were Jude Bellingham the prospect of playing under Pep Guardiola has to be an enticing one with the legendary players he has coached on his CV.
In the past Pep has labeled the youngster as ‘the whole package’ so it’s quite clear he is a fan of him, as are most managers in Europe. The Dortmund midfielder has previously scored twice against Man City in the Champions League but unfortunately to no avail as he ended up on the losing side both times.
Manchester City already have Ä°lkay Gundogan, Bernardo Silva, Rodri, and Kevin de Bruyne in midfield, while Kalvin Phillips has returned from injury. However, a statement signing like Bellingham would be huge for City as he would add something extra.
On top of that, Bellingham could be potentially reunited with his ex-teammate, Erling Haaland.
The two had a wonderful partnership at Dortmund and there is no reason they can’t replicate that in the Premier League under Pep Guardiola. It’s a frightening prospect for non-Man City fans in the Premier League but it’d be lovely to see but they’ll have to fight off nearly every other club to sign him.
Real Madrid
Real Madrid are famous for bringing in the best young talent. Many people were saying that Bellingham wouldn’t go to Spain as he’d prefer England, but he joined Dortmund without any hesitation and has thrived there since so a move to another foreign country will definitely be on his radar.
Real Madrid have arguably had one of the best midfields of all time for the past couple of years with Kroos, Casemiro, and Modric being stalwarts at the club. Unfortunately for Madrid, those days are numbered with Modric now being 37 years of age, Casemiro having left the club and Kroos being 32.
Madrid always plan ahead and their signings of Camavinga and Tchouameni are perfect examples of that. Jude Bellingham could be the perfect balance to that midfield and can still learn from the best at Madrid. They are a club that will happily pay the heavy fee for the youngster and will be more than happy to complete their next generation of midfielders with him but perhaps they have enough options for now with their two recent French midfield signings.
Those are the three major players in the Bellingham market with the rest being much higher odds.
Elsewhere
Man Utd are priced at 20/1, Chelsea are 25/1, while Arsenal and Newcastle are both 33/1.
PSG are also 33/1 but it's the main three clubs at the top of the betting that appear to be the most realistic options for Bellingham.
