Real Madrid have been linked with a long list of players in recent times, as it looks like the club are preparing for a big summer transfer window, even though it is unlikely that they will make any major additions in January. The club have moved away from their Galactico policy in recent years but there are a couple of stars who would fit that description, if Los Blancos were able to sign them.
With Real Madrid, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United and several other clubs believed to be interested in him, it would be safe to say that Jude Bellingham is the most in-demand youngster in all of football right now.
While he might be just 19 years of age, he has already proven himself as one of the best midfielders in the Bundesliga, captained a club like Borussia Dortmund and performed at the Champions League-level as well. And he is providing further proof of being the real deal with his performances at the World Cup, as England have booked their place in the last 8 with him playing as a starter.
Thus, it goes without saying that Bellingham is a special talent and Real Madrid seem willing to break the bank in order to sign him.
Real Madrid could offer €125 million fee for transfer target
As reported by Defensa Central (via The Hard Tackle), Real Madrid could look to offer around €125 million for Bellingham in the summer transfer window.
Initially, there had been rumours that Real Madrid would like to sign Bellingham for around the €100 million mark. But now, it looks like his performances at the World Cup have convinced Los Blancos to go higher.
It remains to be seen if they are able to win the race though, with the likes of Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and others also in the running. There have also been suggestions that Borussia Dortmund would look for a transfer fee close to €150 million to part ways with Bellingham.
