Reports in Germany say Jude Bellingham isn't missed at former club Borussia Dortmund.
The 20-year-old has made a stunning start to life at Real Madrid following his move to Spain earlier this summer.
Bellingham scored on his La Liga debut for Real on Saturday, netting his side's second goal in a 2-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao.
However, despite his obvious talent and the way he's adjusted to life in Spain, he's apparently not missed at Dortmund.

Bild say team-mates are happy to see the back of Bellingham, believing he got too big for his boots during his time at the Westfalenstadion.
Players apparently felt he was always keen to be the centre of attention - and would go out of his way to ensure that was the case.
In the 2021/2022 season, team-mates suspected Bellingham felt he was being overshadowed by Erling Haaland.
Bellingham reportedly then responded by waiting behind after games to applaud fans on his own, rather than with the rest of the squad.
Those inside the dressing room were also unimpressed when the former Birmingham star was given the captaincy last year.

This apparently wasn't a one-off incident.
Earlier this summer, Dortmund replaced Bellingham by raiding Bayern Munich for Marcel Sabitzer.
And those still at the German giants have been enthused by the former Manchester United star's positive impact so far.
Emre Can has become a popular member of the team in Bellingham's absence.
And it's also reported that Sebastien Haller is now on the team council for the English-speaking members of the squad.
Meanwhile, speaking after Bellingham's heroics against Bilbao on Saturday, Carlo Ancelotti hailed the England star.
"He's a player with a lot of personality," said the Italian, whose side missed out on the La Liga title to Barcelona last term.
"He adapts very quickly to the team's system because he has a strong personality.
"It seems like he has been with us for a long time, he's a player with a very high level."
He continued: "Bellingham is outstanding and the team feels comfortable playing that way.
