Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler has weighed in on the possibility of Jude Bellingham making a future move to the Premier League, potentially even to Anfield. While acknowledging Bellingham's current success at Real Madrid, Fowler suggests that a switch to England's top flight is a realistic prospect, though not in the immediate future.
Bellingham, still only 22, has experienced a meteoric rise in his career. Starting at Birmingham City, he quickly moved to Borussia Dortmund before securing a high-profile transfer to Spanish giants Real Madrid. He has already established himself as a key player for Los Blancos, earning recognition with Ballon d'Or nominations.
Despite his impressive performances, Fowler pointed out that injuries have been a recurring issue for the young midfielder. These setbacks, while not derailing his career, have occasionally interrupted his momentum and availability.
Speaking exclusively to GOAL, Fowler articulated his belief that the Premier League remains a strong contender for Bellingham's next destination. He estimates this potential transfer could occur in the next three to five years, particularly if Bellingham decides to leave another elite European club like Real Madrid for an English counterpart.
However, Fowler also highlighted a specific area where Bellingham could further refine his game: consistency and defensive discipline. He praised Bellingham's attacking prowess but suggested that improving his speed in defensive transitions and recovery could be a significant asset, especially from an international management perspective.
Currently, Bellingham's focus is firmly on his international commitments with England. His contract with Real Madrid extends until 2029, indicating a long-term commitment to his current club.
Nevertheless, Fowler's analysis suggests that a return to the Premier League could be a significant chapter in Bellingham's career later on. The prospect of winning a World Cup with England could also influence his future career decisions, potentially paving the way for a highly anticipated transfer back to English shores.
