Jude Bellingham will likely snub offers from Liverpool and Manchester City, with Real Madrid leading the race to sign him.
According to a report by AS, as relayed by Sport Witness, Jude Bellingham is favouring a move to Real Madrid. Liverpool and Manchester City are also interested in signing the Englishman in a nine-figure deal. But the Borussia Dortmund midfielder is ready to “park” the proposals from the Premier League clubs.
Jude Bellingham has come leaps and bounds since joining Borussia Dortmund. Once a prodigious prospect, he is already a world-class talent despite still being in his teens. And the 19-year-old has become a talismanic figure for the Bundesliga outfit, chipping in with crucial goals and assists.
The English international has a solid record of 11 goals and seven assists in 40 appearances thus far this term. But Bellingham’s long-term future is away from Dortmund, with several top clubs keen on signing him. And Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Manchester City are keen on securing his services.
The teenage sensation has been on Real Madrid’s radar for a long time. But the reigning La Liga champions do not want to enter a bidding war for the youngster. So Real Madrid recently hatched a new ploy to secure Bellingham’s services. And after meeting his representatives, they are the front-runners to seal a summer deal.
As for Liverpool, the Reds are somewhat in the background in the race to sign the Englishman. But with Jurgen Klopp keen on overhauling the midfield unit, Liverpool cannot afford to spend a nine-figure sum like €120 million on one player. Nonetheless, the Merseyside giants remain in the hunt for the 19-year-old.
Meanwhile, Manchester City can afford to shell out a nine-figure fee to secure Bellingham’s services. And with Bernardo Silva keen on embarking on a new adventure, the Borussia Dortmund midfielder is a viable target. But the player is ready to “park” proposals from Manchester City and Liverpool.

Recent reports had claimed that Bellingham was ready to join Liverpool in the summer. The Manchester City project is also attractive. But Real Madrid’s effort to convince him in person might have turned Bellingham’s head. And it will be interesting to see if Los Blancos can secure his signature in the summer transfer window.
