On the Real Madrid front, Jude Bellingham could soon be at the heart of a blockbuster transfer move.

A return to England for Jude Bellingham? That's the scenario stirring up the English media in recent hours, as Bellingham could be set for a sensational comeback to Birmingham City, his boyhood club, according to statements from Blues chairman Tom Wagner. Wagner brought up this possibility during the unveiling of plans for a state-of-the-art 62,000-seat stadium, the Powerhouse Stadium, which is slated to open in 2030.

“I think Jude is the greatest player on the planet today, and we haven’t even seen the full extent of his potential yet,” said Wagner. Bellingham, who came through Birmingham’s academy, left the club at 17 to join Borussia Dortmund before making his mark in Madrid. His impact was so profound that the club retired his number 22 shirt.
