He said: &#8216;I wanted to clear up a misunderstanding there has been. I said that Mason Greenwood came to Getafe because he had spoken to Bellingham.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It has been clarified to me that this was not the case. I apologise. Mason arrived in a different way. It was our interest and they offered him to me and we were very interested. I just wanted to clarify that, it was not a bad intention.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/17\/19\/75533247-12528971-image-a-40_1694975811493.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Getafe coach Jose Bordalas has apologised for wrongly claiming that Real Madrid&#8217;s Jude Bellingham was involved in encouraging Mason Greenwood to move to the Spanish league<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/17\/19\/75506579-12528971-The_World_Cup_winner_might_look_upon_the_rise_of_Jude_Bellingham-a-46_1694976147660.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Bellingham&#8217;s entourage were unhappy with Bordalas&#8217;s false statement made to\u00a0Radio Marca<\/p>\n<p>Both players joined LaLiga this summer, albeit in different circumstances.
