Getafe head coach Jose Bordalas has apologised for claiming that Jude Bellingham recommended Mason Greenwood to move to the La Liga.

Bordalas has now retracted the comment he made on Friday, and apologised to all concerned.

“I wanted to clear up a misunderstanding that there has been,” Bordalas said on Sunday.

“I said that Mason Greenwood came to Getafe because he had spoken to Bellingham. They have clarified to me that it was not like that. I apologise. It [Greenwood’s signing] was because of our interest. He was offered to us, and we were very interested.

“I just wanted to clarify that, there was no bad intention.”
