Jude Bellingham has admitted ‘it would be really nice’ to play alongside Kylian Mbappe at Real Madrid after the French superstar played his final match for PSG at the weekend.
Mbappe is expected to finally seal a transfer to the Spanish capital in the coming weeks after running down his contract in Paris, with Madrid set to snap up one of the world’s best players on a free transfer.
