English central midfielder Jude Bellingham Real Madrid's main goal next summer. This was reported by journalist José Alvarez Gaia on El Chiringuito TV, and other Spanish media confirmed the information.
Real is interested in this player, he has already been contacted about a transfer next summer, Gaia said. Bellingham gave a positive answer. Sources in England told me that Bellingham wants to play for Real Madrid, despite the offer from Manchester City.
I was told that Man City are serious about fighting for the midfielder. Man City spoke with his family in Manchester, but they were told that the player first wants to listen to an offer from Real Madrid. If the negotiations are successful, he will play for Madrid next season.
Real Madrid asked Bellingham not to renew the agreement with Borussia. Modric 1win-azerbaycan.com and Kroos still have contracts until the summer
Marca writes that Real have been eyeing Jude even before the midfielder joined Borussia Dortmund in 2020. But it was this year that the Madrid first contacted the player when they were not sure whether Aurélien Tchouameni would agree to the transfer. Real Madrid's more serious intentions were also deterred by the additional financial burden of a possible signing of Mbappe.
Despite the fact that the transfer of Tchuameni took place, Madrid asked Bellingham not to renew the contract with Borussia. The player has done so, but at the same time is considering other options. His current deal with Dortmund ends in the summer of 2025.
Real Madrid currently have six midfielders, but three of them will run out of contracts in the summer. Modric and Kroos are important players, but their age can play a decisive role, so it is not certain that the club will leave them. Third Dani Ceballos. Ancelotti trusts the player, but since he is not yet a solid mainstay, a contract extension is also not guaranteed.
So Real Madrid can let go in the summer half of the linebackers, and Bellingham are seen as a great replacement. A & nbsp; good relations with Borussia should help Madrid in the negotiations. True, for the Englishman will have to seriously fight. Top Premier League clubs Liverpool, Manchester United, Man City and Chelsea are also bidding for him.
It was reported that Borussia Dortmund will demand 150 million euros for the 19-year-old midfielder next summer. Bellingham's contract does not include a release clause, as Erling Haaland had, so Jude could become the most expensive English footballer in history.
They also want Jude in Liverpool and Man United have been leading him since childhood
Both English grandees have been following Bellingham for a long time, here is the story of his relationship with them.
Bellingham met Merseyside at the age of 11: then, in just 2 days, he made an indelible impression on all the staff. Liverpool could (and most importantly wanted) to take him for only 9 thousand euros (the amount of compensation), but Jude's parents were against it: they decided not to separate the family, so the boy remained in Birmingham. Man City and Chelsea were after him around the same time.
Liverpool continued to follow Bellingham, who in August 2019, he became the youngest Birmingham player to play for the first team at 16 years and 38 days. In the same year, he already broke age records in Germany.
In connection with the departure of Jude, Birmingham even retired jersey number 22, the logic is strange: the club believed that he brilliantly coped with the functions of number 4, #8 and #10, and put them together. The British did not name the details of his transfer to Dortmund: according to The Athletic, Birmingham is entitled to more than 5% of any future deal.
Let's return to Bellingham's connections with Liverpool. Jude adores Anfield legend Steven Gerrard and is proud that Aston Villa's head coach named him one of the top five midfielders in the world.
And Jude is also praised by current Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson: I love the way he plays. I like his character, and this is the most important thing. I can only say good things about him. He's a great guy, a fantastic player who will only get better and better as the years go by. Bellingham, in turn, called Henderson England's top pro.
Modern Liverpool need Jude as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Naby Keith and James Milner are out of contracts after this season. Jude is planned to be used as a midfielder from box to box.
Bellingham could have been in Liverpool in the summer of 2022, but then Borussia categorically refused to negotiate. Jurgen Klopp, who is a big fan of the Englishman, even spoke about this: He is not on the market, this is the first and only problem with this player.
Man United established relations with Bellingham's father Mark, he continues to influence Jude's career. The Bellinghams visited Manchester United's training ground before the transfer to Dortmund. Club staff remembered Mark as a meticulous professional who asked many questions about day-to-day activities.
United sporting director John Murtaugh struck up a relationship with Mark that continues to this day. United have been watching Bellingham since the age of 12. And former Manchester United coach Michael Carrick admired the midfielder's out-of-the-box thinking.
Even Sir Alex Ferguson met Jude's parents, but their dialogue turned out to be short, so it didn’t have much effect.
But in the end, Bellingham still leaned towards Borussia: the family had been planning a move to Germany for a long time, considering this option ideal for a career. The example was not looked far: Jadon Sancho blossomed in Dortmund after he left Manchester City at the same age. By the way, the City of Bellingham also want Holland already offers to revive their top bunch.
