Real Madrid have been linked with a long list of players in recent times but one area that seems to be a priority for the club seems to be their midfield. The long-term futures of both Luka Modric and Toni Kroos are uncertain, and Dani Ceballos could be on his way out as well. On top of that, Eduardo Camavinga’s development this season has not gone as smoothly as one would have expected.
One name that has stood out from the rest when it comes to rumoured transfer targets for Real Madrid is Jude Bellingham.
There is very little doubt that Bellingham is a generational talent. At 19 years of age, he has captained Borussia Dortmund and starred for the England national team at the World Cup. He has the potential to be a very special player in the future and is already amongst the best midfielders in the world.
Naturally, there is a lot of interest in his signature. But as reported by The Sun, Real Madrid have become increasingly confident that Bellingham will snub a Premier League move and make a big switch to Spain next summer.
Real Madrid are confident of winning the race for Bellingham
Other than Real Madrid, giants like Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool are also believed to be after Bellingham’s signature.
It will take a premium transfer fee to sign Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund though and it is not expected that the Bundesliga giants will let the English midfielder leave the club for a figure lower than £100 million, although that can go up further depending on how far the suitors are willing to go to sign him.
Signing Bellingham would be considered as a major coup for any club in the world at this point of time. Let’s see who ends up doing so.
