      by

      His form landed him a mega-money move to European giants Real Madrid, where he’s flourished in his first four outings for the Spaniards – scoring five goals already.
      As with hundreds of players around the world, Bellingham recently learned his rating for the upcoming EAFC 24 video game – although he discovered his stats alongside Real team-mates Brahim Diaz, Lucas Vazquez and Rodrygo.
      “I’ve got to be like 84,” the former Birmingham City star said when he was asked to predict his pace racing.
      But he was way off the mark and his jaw nearly hit the floor when he was told he’d only been given a 76.

      Diaz was quick to mock his Los Blancos team-mates’ rating – and his running style.
      The Spaniard said: “You’re running like this all the time bro.”
      A perplexed and stunned Bellingham couldn’t believe the rating, adding: “You’re joking?
      “I was more last year, so I’ve gone down?”

      Bellingham may not be happy with his stats for the soon-to-be-released video game, but he can have no complaints about his numbers for Real Madrid.
      The 20-year-old is the top goalscorer for Carlo Ancelotti’s side this season with five goals in four matches, plus an assist.
      He picked up his sixth goal of the season in England’s 3-1 win over old rivals Scotland at Hampden Park on Tuesday night.
      But the soft-spoken midfielder is refusing to get too far ahead of himself, telling beIN Sports: “I’m always learning.
      “I’m so lucky to have played with so many great players with my last club and even more so at my new club which is a big boost for me and for my own confidence to play with such great players.
      “I’m just learning all the time really. I’m trying to add more attributes to my game and trying to affect the ones I’ve already got.
      “If I can keep being effective in goal and doing the things that I do well already overall in my game then I think I could be doing well and hopefully have a good season.
      “So it’s important that I keep it up.”
      Bellingham and his Real Madrid team-mates will be back in action on Sunday night, welcoming Real Sociedad to the Bernabeu. More

      Exact date Mason Greenwood to make his debut for new club Getafe revealed after impressing coaches in training

      by

      MASON Greenwood is set to make his footballing comeback in a debut for Getafe within days after impressing in training.The ex-England striker has not kicked a ball professionally since January last year when he made his final appearance for Manchester United against West Ham United.

      But despite only signing for the La Liga club in Spain in a transfer deadline day deal on loan ten days ago, Greenwood is expected to feature against Osasuna on September 17, next Sunday afternoon.
      He has not played since he was arrested in January last year on suspicion of attempted rape, assault and coercive control.

      He stayed suspended by United despite the Crown Prosecution Service announcing in February they were dropping all charges.
      United and Greenwood jointly announced on August 21 he would be leaving the Old Trafford club, in what they called a “collaborative decision”.
      Read More On Mason Greenwood
      His move to Getafe was confirmed late on September 1, just before the English and Spanish summer transfer windows closed.
      A source has now said: “Mason was very nervous about how he would be received by his new team-mates and his coaches but they have been very welcoming to him.
      “He feels relaxed in their company and a couple of the Spanish lads have taken him under their wing.
      “He can’t believe how well its gone and how quickly his life has changed.
      Most read in Football
      “He has been very very low at times while he was suspended by United and within the space of a few days he has fans chanting his name again.
      “He was scared to walk down the street in England because he was worried he would be attacked or abused.
      “In Spain, he’s able to wander around freely. He’s been able to concentrate 100 per cent on his football and want to get back to playing as soon as possible.”
      “The coaching staff have been impressed with his sharpness and plan to throw him in as soon as they can.”
      Greenwood has been joined in Spain by his partner Harriet Robson, also 21, and the couple are looking at houses in the capital Madrid.
      It is unclear whether she will live in Spain with him or regularly visit with their baby.
      The source added: “The Getafe Wags have also welcomed Harriet so they are both very happy with the move at the moment.”
      Getafe have released multiple videos of Greenwood’s unveiling at the club on the outskirts of Madrid as well as others showing him training with his new colleagues.
      The club’s president Ruben Reyes insisted the player’s arrival was “just the same” as their other signings despite critics calling the move “tone deaf”.
      Greenwood’s Old Trafford exit had been welcomed by former England and United defender Gary Neville, but the Sky Sports pundit criticised the club for their “horrible” handling of the situation.
      BBC’s Match Of The Day presenter and ex-Three Lions captain Gary Lineker called United’s move “inevitable and right”.
      But women’s charities urged football clubs to do better when dealing with such situations.
      Dedicated Red Devils fan Rachel Riley had threatened to no longer support United if they permitted Greenwood to come back.
      The Channel 4’s Countdown co-host and Strictly Come Dancing contestant also accused the club of having “handled this appallingly”.
      Greenwood’s last United appearance came in a 1-0 Premier League victory over West Ham United on January 22 last year.
      The CPS charged him last October and he was scheduled to go on trial this November, until the case was withdrawn on February after alleged victim and 12 other witnesses declined to co-operate.

      Greenwood, born in Bradford in West Yorkshire, scored 35 goals in his 129 matches for United.
      England manager Gareth Southgate brought him on as a late sub against Iceland in September 2020 for his only international appearance.

      Inside Eduardo Camavinga’s insane body transformation from skinny teen to ripped Real Madrid enforcer

      by

      REAL MADRID star Eduardo Camavinga has undergone an incredible body transformation.The Frenchman arrived in the Spanish capital during the summer of 2021 as a skinny 18-year-old.

      But since moving to Real Madrid the midfielder has bulked upCredit: INSTAGRAM @CAMAVINGA @jordan13ajo
      But in just two years, he has bulked up and become a key man for club and country.
      Camavinga came through the academy at Rennes and was dubbed a wonderkid due to his outstanding technical ability rather than his strength.
      An old photo believed to have been taken in 2020 shows a thin-looking midfielder when he had just a handful of senior Ligue 1 appearances to his name.
      He went on to play 75 times in the first-team as a scrawny teenager before completing his move to the Santiago Bernabeu for £34.4million.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      Since joining the 14-time Champions League winners, Camavinga has hit the gym and now boasts a muscular physique, making him hard to shrug off the ball and even more difficult to dribble beyond.
      Real Madrid planned special training sessions for him so he could get more ripped and the 20-year-old even hired a personal chef and his own physiotherapist to ensure he kept on top of his fitness.
      Camavinga admitted to struggling after a draining pre-season workout when he first became a Los Blancos player and he knew he had to improve physically and mentally.
      He said: “In my first training session, I had a bad time physically. I think I almost threw up, we did a lot of things, but I adapted.

      “As I have a physical trainer and now I play a bit more, we vary our sessions.
      “I told him that I had a tendency in the support runs that wasn’t necessarily the best, and so we worked on that.
      “In particular, we worked on liveliness, with mental things at the same time to work on the senses.
      “We worked on the senses to improve reactivity. Also to process information. In the midfield, players come from everywhere.”
      Camavinga has won LaLiga and the Champions League since becoming more robust and he was part of the France squad that came runners-up in last year’s World Cup.

      Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies lined up for major transfer to European rivals

      by

      ALPHONSO DAVIES is reportedly being lined up for a transfer to European giants Real Madrid. The Bayern Munich star is Carlo Ancelotti’s primary target for next year’s summer transfer window.

      The 22-year-old has become one of the best young left-backs in football.
      Davies burst onto the scene in the MLS with Vancouver Whitecaps before his record-breaking transfer to Bayern Munich in 2018.
      Within a year the Candian had established himself as a first-team regular and has progressed to be among the world’s top left-backs – known for his blistering pace, dribbling and crossing ability.
      He has had a remarkable start for the Bundesliga side scoring eight goals in 156 appearances.

      Davies has also picked up some silverware along the way winning five Bundesliga titles and the Champions League in 2020.
      He scored Canada’s first World Cup goal ever at Qatar 2022, putting his penalty miss disappointment behind him from the first match to head in against Croatia.
      The left-back’s success has led to transfer attention and Spanish outlet Marca claim Davies has been linked with a move to Real Madrid.
      Ancelotti is on the hunt to bolster his defence as Ferland Mendy’s calf injury means his future at the club is uncertain, the report claims.

      However, it is believed Real Madrid will wait until summer 2024 to try and sign the full-back.
      Davies previously revealed he struggles with loneliness in Germany meaning a move to the Spanish capital could be something that appeals to the star.
      Davies’s contract with the Bavarian side does not come to an end until June 2025.
      Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel may be reluctant to let his star player go.
      But if Davies does depart next summer he would join new Real Madrid youngsters Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni and Jude Bellingham. More

      Real Madrid lining up shock transfer move for Man City striker as LaLiga giants eye alternatives to Kylian Mbappe

      The Frenchman signed for Al-Ittihad, leaving a significant gap up front for Real Madrid.
      Ancelotti and Co opted not to go big for a striker this summer, instead landing former Stoke and Newcastle flop Joselu on loan from Espanyol.
      While the Italian is currently content with his options, the Spanish giants are expected to recruit a star forward next year.
      Real Madrid have long been linked with Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      They are expected to finally get a deal over the line for the 24-year-old next summer, with his PSG contract set to expire.
      But having been in this position with Mbappe before only to see a move fall through, Real Madrid chiefs are exploring alternative options just in case.
      According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, Man City star Alvarez is on Real’s radar.
      They claim that he could emerge as a key target for Ancelotti’s side, should they fail to land Mbappe.

      Alvarez, 23, has excelled since moving to the Etihad – despite having to compete with Erling Haaland up top.
      He netted 17 goals in all competitions last season, helping City to the Treble while also winning the World Cup with Argentina.
      Manager Pep Guardiola won’t want to lose Alvarez, who has started all four of City’s Premier League matches this term thus far.
      In the absence of a top striker, Real Madrid have been relying on Jude Bellingham for goals so far this season.
      The England star has scored five times in his first four matches for his new side, with his manager setting him a goals target.
      Ancelotti said: “He can reach 15 goals without a problem. He moves very well and that’s why he scores so many goals.
      “He’s a player who learns very quickly, we don’t have to tell him things too many times.”
