“English supernova” Jude Bellingham (20, Dortmund) is headed to Spain, where he has been linked with a move to Real Madrid.
The Spanish newspaper Cadena Ser reported on Tuesday that “Real Madrid want to finalize the signing of Bellingham in the next few days. The deal, worth 120 million euros ($171 million), is almost finalized.”
“The transfer fee is a €100 million base price with a €20 million option,” the outlet continued, “but the announcement will be delayed due to the disappointment of Dortmund’s failure to win the Bundesliga title.”
It’s not expected to be long. “Bellingham could be Real Madrid’s most important signing in recent years, and perhaps the most high-profile in La Liga this summer,” the publication concludes. The countdown has already begun. Of course, it won’t be announced before Real Madrid finish the competition.”
Bellingham, born in 2003, is a versatile midfielder who is one of England’s finest talents. He has been an integral part of both the England national team and Dortmund’s core, making his presence felt in the middle of the park and on both sides of the ball. He is valued at a whopping €200 million by FIFA’s Center for International Sports Studies (CIES).
Bellingham began to spread his wings when he joined Dortmund from Birmingham City in 2020, when he became the most expensive 17-year-old soccer player in history for a transfer fee of £25 million.
Now, Bellingham is preparing for the next step. He has already played his final game of the season and reportedly gave his Dortmund teammates and staff a farewell gift. He even gave one security guard an autograph and a pair of soccer cleats with a farewell message saying ‘thank you’.토토사이트
Liverpool have also been keeping tabs on Bellingham for a while now, but it looks like Real Madrid will be the winners in the end. If he joins Real Madrid, they’ll have an absolutely stellar midfield.
Luka Modric, Toni Kroos, Aurélien Chouaményi, Federico Valverde, Eduardo Camabinga, and Bellingham could all share the pitch in the same jersey.
Bellingham is also reportedly attracted to the world-class midfielders he will be playing alongside. Earlier, German publication Bild reported that he was keen to learn the game from legends Modric and Kroos.
