Inter Milan’s sporting director, Beppe Marotta, has recently made a significant revelation about Real Madrid star, Jude Bellingham.
This admission sheds light on the player’s impact and resonates with Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp, who had previously expressed his views on the talented midfielder.
Marotta’s Recognition of Bellingham’s Value
Inter Milan chief Beppe Marotta, formerly associated with Juventus, openly acknowledges the exceptional value of Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham.

Klopp’s “Ferrari” Analogy and Liverpool’s Withdrawal
Jurgen Klopp’s analogy comparing Jude Bellingham to a ‘Ferrari’ emphasizes the financial constraints and practicalities that guide Liverpool’s transfer decisions.
“It’s not about Jude Bellingham,”
“I never understood why we constantly talk about things we theoretically cannot have. We cannot have six players in the summer, every player being £100m. You have to realise what you can do and then you have to work with it. It’s about how much money you have, and you work with that.”
“We are not children. You wouldn’t ask a five-year-old what they want at Christmas and if they say ‘a Ferrari’, you would not say: ‘Oh, that is a good idea.’ “No, you would say it’s too expensive and you cannot drive it.”
Klopp said, as per The Guardian
Klopp’s announcement in April 2023 about Liverpool withdrawing from the race for Bellingham reflects the club’s acknowledgement of the financial limitations and the need for a pragmatic approach in the competitive transfer market.
The Significant Investment by Real Madrid
Real Madrid’s decision to secure Jude Bellingham for £88.5 million as their new Galactico showcases the significance they attribute to the young English midfielder.
Bellingham’s remarkable debut season at Real, marked by 18 goals, justifies the substantial investment made by the La Liga leaders.

Despite their interest, Real Madrid won the race to sign him. Bellingham chose Santiago Bernabéu over playing in the English top flight and the club competition in the transfer market.
Marotta’s Creative Approach and Bellingham’s Appeal
Beppe Marotta’s mention of creativity in the absence of an unlimited budget reflects the strategic thinking required in modern football management.
“If I had an unlimited budget, who would I take from Inter? There are many. I have to say one thing: it is much more difficult to have money than not to have it.”
“When you don’t have it you have to be more creative. We often say this to each other with Piero Ausilio. Bellingham. He’s a player who makes me enjoy a lot.”
He told Goal
Singling out Bellingham as a player who brings joy, Marotta’s perspective on creativity in dealing with financial constraints adds a nuanced layer to clubs’ challenges.
