  • Jude Bellingham has taken a subtle swipe at fellow high-flyer Kylian Mbappe
  • The Frenchman has been a transfer target for Real Madrid since last summer
  • The Spanish giants are reportedly keen on reaching a pre-contract agreement

Jude Bellingham took a sly swipe at Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappe when questioned about the Frenchman's potential move to Real Madrid.

Despite being a long-standing target for the Spanish club, Mbappe's transfer to the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium remains uncertain after his sensational U-turn which saw him extend his PSG contract.

As his current deal with the French champions approaches expiration next summer, speculation surrounding the 24-year-old's transfer to Madrid has resurfaced, per the Mirror.

When asked about the possibility of the 2018 World Cup winner joining him in Spain, Bellingham - who has been in excellent form since the start of the season - aimed a subtle dig at Mbappe.

"Mbappé at Real Madrid? I love my current teammates & think they’re all fantastic," the former Borussia Dortmund captain replied as quoted by Madrid Zone.
"I only focus on myself and work together with people who want to be here. Our motivation is success, not other things like money."

Meanwhile, Mbappe has seamlessly reacclimated to PSG's first-team line-up and wasted no time in making his presence felt, notching five goals in just three Ligue 1 matches.

Meanwhile, Bellingham's teammate at Real Madrid, Dani Carvajal has openly discussed Mbappe amid the contentious rumours surrounding his club future.

Carvajal notably opined that the transfer should have occurred sooner, especially considering PSG's exclusion of the Frenchman from their pre-season preparations.

Real Madrid is reportedly aiming to secure a pre-contract agreement with the 2018 World Cup winner in January, setting the stage for a free transfer next summer.

Earlier, Sports Brief reported on Real Madrid's persistence in pursuing Mbappe, with the Spanish giants prepared to take additional measures to secure the 24-year-old's services before the upcoming summer.

Los Blancos are reportedly willing to commit €230 million to the French forward, covering wages and signing-on fees in January, with the aim of bringing him to the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium next season.
