Former Real Madrid striker Fernando Morientes has sent a message to Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham.

Bellingham was recently signed for €103m, despite being 19.

Morientes has told Jude Bellingham that he must be mentally tough to play for Real Madrid.

Morientes told Radio Marca: “The important thing to make the leap is talent and mind.

“Having that responsibility and that head, everything that entails. With all due respect, playing for Dortmund has nothing to do with playing for Madrid, and you don’t realise that until you arrive.

“It’s the only uncertainty. I think that because of the progression he has, it gives the feeling that he could be a player for a long time.”
