PSG shift focus to Manchester United star Marcus Rashford as Mbappe edges closer to Real Madrid move
French giants Paris Saint-Germain will reportedly look to Manchester United to find a replacement for Kylian Mbappe this summer.
The incident unfolded during Thursday's clash between Getafe and Real Madrid, where Los Blancos emerged victorious with a 2-0 win.
Alleged Incident and Reporting to La Liga
Jude Bellingham, known for his time at Borussia Dortmund before joining Real Madrid, is under scrutiny following claims that he labeled Mason Greenwood "a rapist" during a confrontation near the touchline.
The alleged insult took place after Bellingham tackled the Manchester United forward. Despite the audio not capturing the specific words exchanged, television cameras showed the midfielder engaged in a verbal exchange with Greenwood.
After the match's conclusion, Spanish outlet Cadena SER reported that Getafe officially approached the La Liga delegate, requesting the alleged comment be included in the referee's official match report. While the accusation against Bellingham remains unproven, the midfielder could face severe consequences if an investigation substantiates the claim.
Greenwood's allegations background and loan to Getafe
Mason Greenwood, aged 22, joined Getafe on loan from Manchester United in the summer transfer window. His loan move followed a series of controversies, including his arrest in October 2022 on charges of attempted rape, engaging in controlling and coercive behavior, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm. Subsequently, the Crown Prosecution Service dropped these charges after an internal investigation.
Despite the tumultuous period, Greenwood has been productive on the pitch for Getafe, scoring six goals and providing four assists in 21 appearances across all competitions this season. Currently positioned 10th in La Liga, the Spanish outfit has benefited from Greenwood's contributions.
Potential ramifications for Bellingham
The reported insult, if proven true, could lead to serious consequences for Jude Bellingham, both professionally and personally. La Liga's investigation will determine the validity of Getafe's claims and could result in disciplinary actions against the Real Madrid midfielder.
As the situation unfolds, football authorities, fans, and stakeholders await the outcome of the investigation to ascertain the accuracy of the allegations and the potential impact on the careers of both Jude Bellingham and Mason Greenwood.
