It is no secret that Jude Bellingham is the priority for Real Madrid in the next summer transfer window. All the signs seem to be pointing in that direction. The Borussia Dortmund midfielder could be a terrific addition to Carl Ancelotti’s midfield, which might be in need of a refresh in the very near future.
Luka Modric is still a fantastic player but he is 37 years of age, and has to be in the twilight of his career. On the other hand, it is unclear what the future holds for Toni Kroos, and there has been speculation that he could hang up his boots at the end of this season. And Dani Ceballos could be on his way out, when his current deal runs out in the summer.
Someone like Bellingham could be a key piece in the middle of the park for Real Madrid for the next decade-and-a-half to come though. And the transfer rumours have gone into overdrive lately.
In a video posted by El Chiringuito TV on Twitter, Bellingham can be seen signing a Real Madrid shirt for a fan.
Bellingham adds to Real Madrid transfer rumours
It depends on how much one wants to read into Bellingham signing a Real Madrid shirt. It could easily just be a case of the Englishman not wanting to deny a fan the chance to get an autograph.
It is worth pointing out that Real Madrid are not the only club believed to be interested in Bellingham. The likes of Liverpool and Manchester City are rumoured to be chasing his signature as well, while the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United have also been linked.
But as reported in December by GOAL, Bellingham has already told his entourage of his desire to move to the Spanish capital.
Let’s see how things turn out in the transfer race for Bellingham. Signing the English midfielder would be considered as a major coup for any club in the world right now.
