Manchester United will reportedly look to sign 22-year-old English international Jude Bellingham from Real Madrid in a deal worth €120 million in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Jude Bellingham is the subject of interest from Manchester United. The Red Devils are eager to bolster their first-team squad by signing a versatile midfielder in the summer transfer window. So, the 22-year-old Real Madrid prospect has emerged as a target for them.
The latest report has revealed that the Premier League heavyweights are ready to offer €120 million to sign the Englishman in the coming months. The update has also added that the figures “could even rise to €150 million if negotiations progress towards terms the Spanish club would consider acceptable” in the summer transfer window.
How has Jude Bellingham fared at Real Madrid?
Jude Bellingham has established himself as one of the world’s best players since joining Real Madrid from Borussia Dortmund in a big-money deal in July 2023. The 22-year-old was already a household name after his spells with Borussia Dortmund and Birmingham City FC, but he has taken his career to new heights during his spell with Los Blancos.
However, fitness issues have plagued the English international this season, as he has managed only 28 outings thus far while chipping in with six goals and four assists. Meanwhile, Bellingham’s stock is high, with several high-profile clubs interested in him. Manchester United will be among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the summer transfer window.
England return on the cards?
Manchester United’s interest in Jude Bellingham is somewhat surprising but understandable. While Bruno Fernandes is one of the world’s best attacking midfielders, he is on the wrong side of 30 and gradually approaching the twilight of his career. Additionally, Manchester United can do with more firepower in the final third.
So, while Bellingham may have to share game time with the Manchester United captain in his preferred position, his versatility and productivity will enable him to become an asset for the Premier League club as a box-to-box midfielder. The latest report has revealed that the Red Devils are ready to offer €120 million to sign the 22-year-old Englishman in the coming months.
While Real Madrid will demand around €150 million to part ways with Bellingham in the summer transfer window, the report has suggested that Manchester United’s figures “could even rise to €150 million if negotiations progress towards terms the Spanish club would consider acceptable” in the summer transfer window. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the English international.
