Real Madrid will be open to offering a €10 million-a-year contract to Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham, a target for Liverpool.
According to a report by Spanish outlet MARCA, Real Madrid can offer Jude Bellingham a lucrative €10 million-a-year contract. But Los Blancos will likely place a lower bid than Liverpool for the 19-year-old. And Borussia Dortmund will demand a package worth €150 million to part ways with him.
Jude Bellingham has the world at his feet despite being only 19 years old. The English midfielder rose to prominence as a prodigious 16-year-old who was a pivotal figure for Birmingham FC. He subsequently ignited a transfer battle that Borussia Dortmund won in 2020. And he has gone from strength to strength since then.
The English international is the most highly sought-after player in the transfer market. And that is hardly surprising, considering Bellingham’s progress in the last few years. And he has enjoyed a superb 2022/23 season thus far, amassing ten goals and six assists in 30 appearances. Meanwhile, the player’s progress has captured the attention of Real Madrid and Liverpool.
Real Madrid will need to identify the successors to Luka Modric and Toni Kroos. And Bellingham has emerged as the priority target for Los Blancos. And the youngster’s ability to score crucial goals adds to his allure. But Real Madrid will not meet Borussia Dortmund’s asking price of €150 million.
Meanwhile, the reigning La Liga champions are ready to offer a €10 million-a-year contract to the player. And widespread reports suggest Bellingham’s preferred destination will be Real Madrid. But Liverpool will aim to put a spanner in the works for Real Madrid this coming summer.
Bellingham is also a priority target for Liverpool. And according to the report, the Reds are ready to submit a higher bid than Real Madrid to sign the 19-year-old. But Liverpool will have to qualify for next season’s UEFA Champions League. Otherwise, they might lose the race to sign the English international.
