“Millionaires” do not want to repeat the same mistake they made with Haaland, so they are trying with all their might to lock the biggest star Jude Bellingham.
The England midfielder arrived at Borussia Dortmund in 2020 from Birmingham as a 17-year-old and dominated it like a seasoned winner. That is why there is a huge queue of European giants standing in front of the gates of Signal Iduna Park, ready to bid to an insane figure, all to secure his services.
However, three teams are knocking the loudest on the door with the biggest bags of money, namely Manchester City, Chelsea and Real Madrid.
Real Madrid opened negotiations with the German club last year, according to the Spanish sports newspaper “Marca”.
The Spanish media remind us that Real lost the experienced Casemiro in the summer transfer window, and Luka Modric and Toni Kroos could leave the Madrid club at the end of the season.
– Real is aware that other big clubs want Bellingham. However, the club’s history is on Real’s side, and this has already proven to be an important factor in previous transfers – writes the text of “Marca”.
However, despite the claims of the Spanish newspaper, the well-informed German newspaper BILD reports that the first favorites are the English giants and that Real is on the back burner.
Chelsea is the most aggressive buyer, and has already sent several offers to the address of the German club, who refused to negotiate. The “Blues” have followed Bellingham since he played in Birmingham as a 16-year-old, and the new boss of the London team has shown that he is not afraid to spend huge sums of money on players.
However, his former teammate, Erling Haaland, recently opted for Manchester City, and hasn’t looked back since. Surely the 19-year-old will take into account the great dominance of “Citizen” in the Premier League, as well as playing under Pep Guardiola, who is a big fan of his.
Bellingham played 102 matches for Borussia Dortmund, scored 14 goals and had 20 assists.
He played 17 games for the England national team.
