Manchester United have made one of the biggest moves in modern football, sending a €150m offer to Real Madrid for superstar midfielder Jude Bellingham.
The bid shows just how serious INEOS are about rebuilding the club and creating a new long-term football project at Old Trafford.
Reports say INEOS want Bellingham to become the main face of the project, and they are ready to pay whatever it takes to bring him back to England.
This comes only months after Manchester United spent around £200m on three attackers, Bryan Mbeumo, Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha, in a bid to fix their goal-scoring problems.
Even with those signings, United still looked weak in midfield last season, and fans criticised the club for ignoring the biggest issue in the team.
Now, with this massive move for Bellingham, it’s clear that INEOS have finally accepted that the midfield needs a full rebuild.
Why Man United Are Going All In
INEOS, who are now heavily involved in the football decisions at Manchester United, believe this is the moment to take the club forward.
The Red Devils had one of the worst attacking records last season, and while new forwards helped, the midfield still looked shaky, slow, and easy to break through.
Man United made enquiries for Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba and Atletico Madrid star Conor Gallagher, but nothing happened.
Instead, the club have made the bold decision to go for one of the best midfielders in the world.
Bellingham is young, strong, creative, and already a leader at a top club. INEOS believe he could transform not just the midfield, but the entire direction of Manchester United for the next decade.
People close to the club say that United want Bellingham to be the “new leader of the project”, a player who can lift the team, take control of matches, and push United back towards the top of English and European football.
Real Madrid Say “No”, But United Won’t Stop Here
Even though the €150m offer is massive, Real Madrid has reportedly told United that Bellingham is “not for sale at any price.”
Madrid sees him as their main star for the present and future. He is already one of their most important players and is expected to play a big part in their long-term plan under Xabi Alonso.
But despite the rejection, United are not walking away.
Reports claim that the Premier League club could come back with an even bigger offer, possibly over €180m, which would make it one of the biggest proposals in football history.
INEOS know that simply matching what Madrid spent on Bellingham won’t work. They need to make an offer so large that Madrid at least starts to think about it.
United believe Bellingham is worth every penny because he fits everything they want: talent, leadership, character, energy, and long-term value.
Why Bellingham Is the Perfect Fit for INEOS
Jude Bellingham is only 22 but already one of the most complete midfielders in football.
He can score, create, run, press, defend, and lead. For a club like United, which has struggled for consistency, control, and identity, he could be the perfect solution.
Many people inside Old Trafford believe Bellingham would:
- Fix the midfield stability
- Bring creativity and attacking drive
- Become a leader straight away
- Help the club attract more top players
- Bring a winning mindset, the squad has lacked for years
INEOS want to build something long-term, not just patch problems with short-term fixes.
Bellingham is exactly the type of player who can change the future of a club.
Is There a Chance Bellingham Leaves Madrid?
Right now, it looks difficult. Real Madrid does not want to sell him, the fans love him, and he is one of their biggest stars. But football can change fast.
A huge offer, a new sports project, and the chance to become the main star in the Premier League could tempt any player.
And there are reports that Bellingham is not fully happy with some of Xabi Alonso’s tactics, along with a few other players at Madrid.
If United continue to push, the situation could become interesting in the next transfer window.
What Happens Next?
Manchester United are expected to continue its pursuit. INEOS want a statement signing to show fans and the football world that the club is entering a new era. Signing Jude Bellingham would be the biggest statement possible.
Madrid may hold firm, but if United offer more than €180m or even €200m, the conversation could change very quickly.
One thing is clear: United are back in the market with power, and they won’t stop until the midfield is rebuilt properly.
This could be one of the biggest transfer sagas of the year, maybe even the decade.
