Real Madrid midfielder, Jude Bellingham, expressed his excitement on Monday about the possibility of playing with Kylian Mbappe next season.
The France captain is widely expected to join Real Madrid at the conclusion of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain this summer.
Mbappe could potentially form a formidable attacking duo with Vinicius Junior, while Madrid’s top scorer this season, Bellingham, would provide support.
“I don’t pick the team and I certainly don’t make the transfers, but Kylian Mbappe, what a player, who wouldn’t want to play with someone as good as him?”, Bellingham remarked to reporters during a media day ahead of the Champions League final on Saturday.

“I don’t want to put any more pressure on the situation, I know for him it’s probably difficult having everyone always talking about him, but it would be really nice,” he added.
Real Madrid is set to face Borussia Dortmund at Wembley, aiming for their 15th Champions League title, which would further extend their record.
Winning the Champions League is a key goal for Mbappe, 25, who has included it on his list of career ambitions.
Mbappe led PSG to the French Cup victory last weekend, marking his final match for the Ligue 1 champions. He stated that he would soon reveal his next move.
“All I wanted was to end things well with my club, with a trophy. I think there is a time for everything and I will announce my future club in good time,” said Mbappe.
“I think it will be in a few days so there is no problem.
“I don’t know when yet. There are still some details (to be sorted out) but the most important thing was to finish on a high here.”
