Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham has slammed speculations of him being part of the group that who revolt led to the ouster of Xabi Alonso as head coach. He used some harsh words for the people who have been circulating these reports, urging fans not to believe them.

“Until now I’ve let far too many of these slide, always hoping the truth will come to light in its own time,” Bellingham wrote on his own app named JB5. “But honestly… what a load of s***.”

“Truly feel sorry for the people that hang onto the every word of these clowns and their ‘sources’,” Bellingham added. “Do not believe everything you read, every now and then these lot need to be held accountable for spreading this kind of damaging misinformation for clicks and added controversy.”

Bellingham had also wished luck to Alonso on his Instagram account when the Spaniard was relieved of his duties at Madrid.

“Thank you, Mister. It was a pleasure, all the very top for the future,” the Englishman had written.
