Huge blow for Liverpool and Man Utd as Real Madrid believe they have won the race for €150m star.
According to a recent source, Real Madrid believes they have won the race to recruit Jude Bellingham.
Several great clubs, including the Spanish powerhouses, are vying for the services of the Borussia Dortmund midfielder.
After an outstanding World Cup performance with England, Bellingham, 19, has continued to draw interest from all throughout Europe.
Although he has a contract with Dortmund until 2025, it is anticipated that he will switch teams during the summer transfer window.
Bellingham was rumored to be a target for Liverpool, though Manchester City, Manchester United, and Chelsea have also been mentioned in connection with the former Birmingham City midfielder.
According to a recent report, Bellingham might reject a transfer back to English football in favor of joining La Liga.
Bellingham is certain to join Real Madrid
Real Madrid reportedly thinks they have won the race to recruit the midfielder, according to The Sun.
Bellingham moving to the Bernabeu during the summer transfer window is reportedly something that the European and Spanish champions are “increasingly optimistic” about.
The 22-cap England player is wanted by Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, who is reportedly “desperate” to get him.
Later, he added: “Everybody desires him. I won’t try to conceal it. I do, however, accept that he is in his club and that, if we want to talk to him, we should first speak with the club.”
As rumors about his future and potential moves grow, Bellingham has remained mum.
According to The Sun, the midfielder is just concerned about what would “benefit him football-wise” and that “wages are not crucial.”
Since Liverpool is unlikely to be able to match the financial might of City, PSG, United, and Real Madrid, that would appear to work to Liverpool’s advantage.
