Real Madrid Transfers: 5 Bundesliga midfielders to keep an eye on
1. Borussia Dortmund CM Jude Bellingham
Much like Jadon Sancho, Jude Bellingham is appearing to be Dortmund’s next English project. It is amazing how equipped Dortmund is as a center for player development. They have been producing world-class talents regularly and it is no doubt that two of their top prospects make this list in the top three. And, Jude Bellingham is the undisputed winner, the best midfield prospect for Real Madrid to monitor for the upcoming windows.
A true central midfielder, Jude Bellingham is someone who could fill in the Kroos or Modric role in the longer run. He is an extremely talented young man who has proven himself with his performances for Dortmund at both domestic and continental levels. This season too, he has been monumental for his club having scored once and assisted twice in the Champions League in two appearances that included a MOTM outing, per WhoScored. In the league too, he has a goal and an assist to his name in seven outings.
But, his role in the Dortmund lineup transcends beyond goal-involvements. He is someone who needs to transition up and down the pitch per need. His numbers in tackles and clearances especially stand out in his defensive records and his work rate is second to none. He places key passes with regularity and his reliance on long balls as well has been fruitful, he is improving his numbers effectively and fast.
Moreover, he has taken up the responsibilities of his national side very well at a very young age. He is especially shining for Gareth Southgate who has entrusted the young man in the World Cup qualifiers where he has been bossing proceedings with a 95% passing accuracy and two key passes per match, per WhoScored. He is taking up the role of being their primary playmaker with great maturity.

These are qualities that make him adept for a future at a big club. Moreover, Real Madrid’s needs are more of a pure central midfielder who could dictate play like Lukita does and step up as his replacement. I think Jude Bellingham stands out at that and therefore emerges as the best Bundesliga midfield target for Los Blancos to monitor.
