Bellingham to Real Madrid could be off as fans spot clue during goal celebration

Fans think they know who Jude Bellingham will be playing for next season after spotting a big clue during Borussia Dortmund's match at the weekend.

A £100m+ move to Real Madrid has felt like a foregone conclusion ever since Liverpool pulled out of the race to sign the midfielder a few weeks ago, but his celebration after scoring against Wolfsburg suggests Bellingham might actually be staying put.

The 19-year-old appeared to shout: "F*** the talk, I'm staying" all while making a 'blah-blah' hand gesture before pumping his fists at the Dortmund fans.

The incident has created plenty of buzz in Liverpool circles, with optimistic fans suggesting they might be able to sign him in 2024 as a result.

"If he's not going to Madrid then we can buy him next year omg," tweeted one Reds fan. Another wrote: "Scenes when he pulls this celebration in the CL final 2024 after scoring the winner against Real Madrid."

A third said: "Heart says he's staying for one more year then joining Liverpool, head says he's off to Madrid."

Others disagreed about the context of Bellingham's words, while some suggested he said something else entirely.

"There's been lots of talk about him throughout last week. I think he says 'let them talk, I'm right here' as in he's absolutely focused on playing for Dortmund, not 'I'm staying'," one person commented.

"Definitely didn't say 'I'm staying'," added another, "I think it's referring to the hate from Bayern fans."

Bellingham netted twice in a 6-0 victory over Wolfsburg to keep Dortmund breathing down the neck of league-leaders Bayern Munich. Should they pip Thomas Tuchel's side to the title, they'll become the first team other than Bayern to be crowned Bundesliga champions in 11 years.
