Real Madrid will only secure Jude Bellingham’s signature with €150 million amid Man City and Liverpool interest.
Jude Bellingham, a teenager from Borussia Dortmund, is known to be Real Madrid’s top transfer target for the summer of 2023.
Over the previous few of seasons, the 19-year-old has established himself as one of the top young midfielders in Europe, and numerous elite teams, like Liverpool and Manchester City, are keeping an eye on him.
Bellingham, an England international, has been tipped as the favorite to join Real Madrid, with recent sources claiming that a transfer to the Santiago Bernabeu would be a “fantastic next step” in his career.
However, Bellingham’s acquisition might cost Real Madrid money. Borussia Dortmund is aware that it will be difficult to hold onto the 19-year-old at the club with the big teams surrounding, according to BILD.
Bellingham’s contract with Dortmund does not have a release clause, in contrast to Erling Haaland, who departed Dortmund for Manchester City last summer. Although it is estimated that the teenager’s market value is around €90 million, the Black and Yellows would demand 150 million for him.
Even if Real Madrid has the financial resources to match Bellingham’s demands, it will be intriguing to see if they are willing to fork up such a big sum for the 19-year-old.
Although Liverpool, who are seventh in the Premier League, may not be a tempting destination for Bellingham if they lose out on Champions League play, Manchester City and Liverpool both have the resources to spend such a significant amount.
Overall, Bellingham appears to be headed for the list of the most expensive footballers next summer, and it is unclear whether Real Madrid will be required to pony out €150 million or if they would attempt to negotiate a lower price with Dortmund.
