Real Madrid have a squad filled with stars, with the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo and Fede Valverde, among others.
Among them, Bellingham is one of the youngest and yet already experienced at the highest level. He has had many memorable moments in his Los Blancos career.
The 23-year-old midfield superstar had a World Cup to remember in North America, scoring seven goals for England while playing as an attacking midfielder.
Now, according to Pepe Alvarez, Real Madrid made it clear that Jude Bellingham is not for sale after holding a meeting with the midfielder's father, Mark Bellingham, at the end of last season.
Mark met with Los Blancos officials and raised the possibility of his son leaving the club due to football-related disagreements with figures higher up within the organisation.

Real Madrid signed three new defenders only a few days after the end of the last season to bolster a key area of the team that caused them quite a few problems during the last season. Two fullbacks, Marc Cucurella and Denzel Dumfries, and one center-back, Ibrahima Konate, have been signed, while the club can still sign one more center-back before the end of the summer transfer window.
Although he is still to join his new team, one of these three players, Cucurella, must already have delighted the Merengues. This is particularly because he played a key role in helping his Spain team win the World Cup, showcasing his talents against some of the biggest international sides like Portugal, France, and Argentina.
In addition to the board members, who decided to sign the defender, Real Madrid players are also seemingly delighted with his signing. As Diario AS has reported, the Brazilian forward Rodrygo Goes took to social media to congratulate the Spaniard on his World Cup triumph, and to welcome him to the Merengue club.
Rodrygo replied to a post made by Cucurella in which the Spaniard can be seen kissing the World Cup trophy with the following words:
"Congratulations on the **** le!! We're waiting for you at the biggest club in the world."

It has been around four months, 138 days to be precise, since the Real Madrid forward Rodrygo Goes suffered his latest injury, an anterior cruciate ligament tear and ******* ociated meniscus tear in his right knee. This injury, suffered on 2nd March, brought a premature end to his club season, and more sadly for the player, also meant him missing the World Cup 2026.
At the time of his injury, he was expected to spend between ten to twelve months on the sidelines. However, as Diario AS has reported, his recovery progress is going very well, and he is expected to recover fully from this injury within the lower extreme of this time range, i.e., ten months.
After having undergone surgery right after this injury, the Brazilian forward has already overcome the most difficult phase of his recovery in these four months. He has gone through these four months with a lot of physical and mental pain, but his determination has never been shaken, as seen from the long rehabilitation and physiotherapy sessions he has undergone. Later, he also started regaining mobility in his knee and began working in the gym.
As things stand, his recovery has progressed to such an extent that he can go through daily life activities, without stepping on the pitch. He also went to the United States to see and support his Brazilian national team in the World Cup, and in North America, also met one of his idols, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Going forward, Rodrygo Goes is expected to get his medical clearance in January. However, he would still need more time to get back to his best level and gradually make his return to the pitch in competitive games.

Physical issues and injuries suffered by their players has been one of the most significant problems that Real Madrid have faced in the last few years, and this problem has undoubtedly played a role in them going the last two seasons without a trophy.
The Merengues have taken several steps to address this issue, including making some changes to their medical team, and it remains to be seen how this problem would evolve in the coming season.
One of the Real Madrid players who has been particularly affected by this problem is the forward Rodrygo Goes. His latest injury came in the second half of the last season, as an ACL tear caused his campaign to end only in the month of March. To make things worse, this injury also meant him missing out on playing in the World Cup 2026.
Thus, the Brazilian forward has been watching the competition mainly from the sidelines and his supporting his team. He commented on the Canarinha's performance as he appeared in an interview with Diario AS, and in this same media appearance, also commented on his physical situation.
Rodrygo expressed his satisfaction with how his recovery is going:

Rodrygo may be absent from the World Cup because of injury, but the Real Madrid forward remains closely connected to football's biggest stage while continuing his recovery process.
The Brazilian attacker has travelled to the United States during his rehabilitation, attending promotional events and watching matches while keeping a close eye on Brazil's progress.
At the same time, Rodrygo has reflected on the coaches who have influenced his career, reserving special praise for Carlo Ancelotti and expressing enthusiasm about the prospect of working under José Mourinho.
In an article written for The Guardian, the Real Madrid star highlighted the importance managers have in a player's development and career progression.
Rodrygo's comments on Ancelotti have attracted attention, especially considering the strong relationship the two built during their time together at Real Madrid.

Ancelotti: Modrić es uno de los últimos una generación dorada y fantástica. Falta Carvajal, pero es un ciclo que se acaba. No es que el club tenga que construir una nueva generación, hay jugadores que llevan aquí mucho tiempo como Camavinga, Rodrygo o Vinicius.
