In a new documentary on his YouTube channel, Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham has revealed that manager Carlo Ancelotti once jokingly threatened to replace him with his younger brother Jobe.

The comment came after the younger Bellingham sibling scored a brace for his new club Sunderland last August in a 2-1 win against Rotherham.

“I’ll never forget, as we’re coming out, Ancelotti goes to me, ‘we’ve bought the wrong one’,” says Bellingham.

The 21-year-old claims that the Italian manager told him that he was planning to bring his younger sibling in to play in his position.
