Real Madrid have not made a lot of big signings in recent years and have stayed relatively quiet. That could be about to change soon though, with Los Blancos being linked with two of the most in-demand players in world football right now in the form of Jude Bellingham of Borussia Dortmund and Endrick of Palmeiras.
Bellingham has already proven himself in Borussia Dortmund colours, already captaining the side at 19 years of age while producing consistent performances in both domestic and European competitions. It is believed that the German giants would look for a transfer fee higher than €100 million to part ways with him, but that figure could rise up to €150 million.
On the other hand, Endrick is far less proven at the senior level and is only taking his first steps, although they have been very positive ones. He is believed to have a €60 million release clause in his current deal.
There is heavy interest in both players from all around Europe. And as reported by Marca, Real Madrid does not contemplate getting into a bidding war for them. The fundamental factor in any move will be the will of the player. Without their desire to sign, it could be impossible to compete financially.
Real Madrid have made Bellingham and Endrick transfer decision
It is believed that both players have an interest in joining Real Madrid. At the same time though, there are several other top clubs looking to sign them, which could end up swaying their desire.
Bellingham is believed to be followed by the likes of Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea.
On the other hand, the transfer race to sign Endrick could be even tighter, with the likes of Barcelona, PSG, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and several more believed to be keeping an eye on the Brazilian wonderkid.
