Dortmund Confirms ‘No Beef’ With Jude Bellingham Despite Midfielder’s Comments

• Borussia Dortmund have insisted they have no feud with midfielder Jude Bellingham
• Bellingham left the Bundesliga outfit for Real Madrid this summer after three seasons
• Real Madrid paid BVB a whopping €103mil to sign the English midfielder this summer

Jude Bellingham is enjoying a great start to his Real Madrid career, but the midfielder seems to have angered the fans of his former employers, Borussia Dortmund, with his comments.

Bellingham has scored three goals in his first two La Liga games for Los Blancos, prompting the midfielder to claim the level at Real Madrid is high, which was seen as a jibe by BVB fans.

According to Fansided, Borussia Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl does not think that Bellingham was being critical of Borussia Dortmund with his comments about the high standards at Real Madrid.

“I don’t think the statement was meant as a criticism of Borussia Dortmund or of his time with us until the summer. I know that he was not 100 percent fit in the last few months and had problems with his knee. These problems are now over.
