Despite Jude Bellingham’s Exploits, Real Madrid Teammate ‘Has More Potential Than Lionel Messi’ As Per a Shock Claim

The bidding war has already made things difficult for clubs to sign great players. The clubs are now using another method to get highly talented players around the globe. The hunt for talent at a very young age has become the norm. You might have thought that Real Madrid has already won the transfer war with Jude Bellingham’s signing with his current performances. But a recent claim may scare the rest of the teams. One of Real’s other acquisitions is now considered a better talent than Lionel Messi.

Real Madrid and FC Barcelona have always been on tenterhooks with signings. However, Real Madrid has been able to hijack many players who were in the plans of both the Spanish giants. The last such player to enter Los Blancos may add more salt to Barcelona’s rage.

Teammate of Jude Bellingham has better potential than Lionel Messi

Real Madrid has not managed either a Champions League or La Liga this year. The team seems to be in transition, with players like Luka Modric and Toni Kroos getting old and Karim Benzema leaving. But Jude Bellingham’s recent performances have taken the soccer world by storm. The club could not be happier since its other star, Arda Guler, is shockingly considered better than Lionel Messi by his former coach at Genclerbirligi.

In an interview with AS, Erol Tokgözler said, “Messi is the greatest I’ve ever seen, and Arda has great abilities. Messi has already achieved everything, and Arda has to do it. He is still a kid. But if we talk about potential purely, Arda has more potential than Messi.”

The coach said that the 18-year-old is yet to prove that he is Messi-like in achievements, but talent-wise, he is better than the 7-time Ballon d’Or winner. Fans already called Arda, the Turkish Messi because of his fluidity with the ball and his intelligent passing. But the coach boldly claims that he is better at potential than what Inter Miami star was at Barcelona. The versatile attacking midfielder also plays like a winger and was instrumental in Fenerbahce winning the Turkish Cup.

The former Fenerbahce number 10 moved to Madrid for a six-year deal till 2029 at $22 million. Barcelona was also interested in the and held talks with his agent, but Arda finally chose Real Madrid over the Catalans.

Bellingham flying high in Madrid

Guler did not start for Real Madrid owing to a meniscus injury. In the meantime, Bellingham has already stolen the spotlight as the club’s top scorer this year.

The English midfielder has almost scored in every game. The highlight was the all-important Champions League goal in the 94th minute against Union Berlin, which is a warning to the rest of the teams.

With Ardal expected to be out for at least a couple more weeks, Madrid fans will rely on Bellingham in El Classico. Barcelona, on the other side, seems to have already found a replacement for Lionel Messi in the 16-year-old Lamine Yamal. The teenage star already achieved impressive milestones for the club at a very early age. But it’s clear that the signings have set both the Spanish teams up for a mouthwatering contest this year with brutal neck-to-neck competition.
