'I felt something like that for the first time': Recalling Bellingham's words about meeting Zidane

"Could you name 3 names of the most inspiring people in football for you?" Borussia Dortmund podcast host asked Jude Bellingham in 2022.

"Easy, man. Zidane first," the Englishman replied.

"You've met him in Paris... "

"Oh yeah... just the coolest guy ever. He's just so... (...) Yeah, I'd probably say Zidane. It was the first time I felt being in awe of someone."

This feeling seems mutual. It has been reported that Zizou has privately recommended Florentino Perez to sign Bellingham as he would 'mark an era'.

Bellingham remains Real Madrid's priority target for the summer. Who knows, maybe he will be coached by Zidane next season already.

The 19-year-old's current deal with Borussia Dortmund expires in 2025. He is going to cost any potential bidder more than €100m.
