Another former Blues star, Clinton Morrison, has previously told GOAL<\/strong><\/b> when asked about Bellingham retracing steps to Birmingham<\/a> – with a stunning new stadium in the pipeline<\/a>: \u201cWell, maybe. You never know. But at the moment he\u2019s playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world in Real Madrid. I think Jude Bellingham comes back to Birmingham one day – you never know, because Birmingham have the financial ambition to go to a different level. That\u2019s what Birmingham City fans would love.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut not at this moment in time. He\u2019s playing at Real Madrid, a huge football club. And later on in his career, if Jude Bellingham decides he wants to come back to his old club, he\u2019ll always be welcomed at Birmingham City. The kid was a sensation for the club even at a young age. But yeah, I think that could happen one day, just not now.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cIt just depends, doesn\u2019t it? You never know. He\u2019s still at a decent age. Birmingham have to get to the Premier League first. They need to get there and then be in the Premier League. And then, even then, you\u2019ve got consolidation. It\u2019s so different from the Championship. You can have all the money in the world, but if the players aren\u2019t gelling or you don\u2019t have the right manager, you\u2019re going to struggle. <\/p>\n

\u201cSo I think Jude\u2019s focus will be on staying at Real Madrid for as long as possible. And if it comes when he gets to 30, 31, 32 and he wants to come home – I\u2019m sure Birmingham City will take Jude Bellingham back.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Another former Blues star, Clinton Morrison, has previously told GOAL when asked about Bellingham retracing steps to Birmingham…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1182157,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[7820],"tags":[855,12905,748,9030,393,2915,4884,155719,7325,544,16,15],"class_list":["post-1182156","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-birmingham","tag-birmingham","tag-birmingham-city","tag-britain","tag-championship","tag-england","tag-exclusive","tag-great-britain","tag-j-bellingham","tag-laliga","tag-real-madrid","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1182156","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1182156"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1182156\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1182157"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1182156"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1182156"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1182156"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
