If anyone is surprised Jude Bellingham seems likely to choose Real Madrid over the Premier League, they were obviously not paying attention in the summer of 2020.
Bellingham could have had his pick of English clubs at that time, having been famously courted by Manchester United. For his development, the teenager decided Borussia Dortmund and the Bundesliga were the best places for his development.
Now, it looks like the 19-year-old believes the Bernabeu and LaLiga are the best places for the next stage of his development. The money will be decent, of course, but even if it is not far off £300,000 a week, there are Premier League clubs who would match the numbers.
