Real Madrid will travel to Dortmund later this month to finalise the deal for Jude Bellingham, who recently rejected a contract worth €15 million per year from Manchester City.
According to reputed Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid will aim to seal an agreement with Borussia Dortmund for Jude Bellingham this season. Meanwhile, a separate report has revealed that the 19-year-old recently rejected a contract worth €15 million from Manchester City.
Jude Bellingham is already one of the best midfielders in the world despite being only 19 years old. The English international is a pivotal figure for his club and country in spite of his nascent years. And he is the talk of the town in the transfer market ahead of the summer transfer window.
The teenage sensation has enjoyed an excellent 2022/23 season thus far. And he has a solid tally of 11 goals and seven assists in 40 appearances across all competitions. But Bellingham’s stint with Borussia Dortmund will end in the summer transfer window, with Real Madrid closing in on signing him.
The reigning La Liga champions hold a long-standing interest in the 19-year-old. And the youngster has reciprocated by accepting the personal terms from Real Madrid. In addition, Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Real Madrid will travel to Dortmund later this month to finalise the agreement with Borussia Dortmund.
The Merengues hope to secure Bellingham’s services before May ends. And the latest report suggests an agreement between all parties is close. Meanwhile, the Englishman should be the long-term midfield solution for Real Madrid amid Luka Modric and Toni Kroos’s advancing years.
The two ageing midfield stalwarts are in the twilight of their respective careers. So Bellingham’s deal has come at an opportune moment for Real Madrid. Meanwhile, Jose Felix Diaz of MARCA has revealed that the 19-year-old recently rejected a contract worth €15 million per year from Manchester City.
It will be interesting to see if Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund can seal the agreement for Bellingham. But with the English international already accepting the personal terms, a deal is nearing completion. Meanwhile, Manchester City will have to look elsewhere for midfield reinforcement this summer.
