BVB star before transfer to Madrid

According to media reports, Real Madrid are intensifying their efforts to sign Jude Bellingham and are even said to be a decisive step ahead of the competition. The 19-year-old midfield star from Borussia Dortmund has opted for the “Royal”.

According to information from the Spanish sports newspaper “markA tour group of the Spaniards is to visit the English international from Borussia Dortmund in Germany in the next few days in order to convince him of a move to Madrid. The paper calls the advance the “Tchouameni tactic” because it was used to lure away Aurélien Tchouaméni (23) from Monaco, who was also being courted in wealthy England last year. Now Bellingham is the most important transfer for the coming season. They want to travel to Dortmund to forestall the clubs from England, Manchester City is said to be in the race. According to the newspaper “AS“ Bellingham decided on Madrid – details are to be negotiated in the next few days.

However, the rumored 150 million euros that BVB is supposed to have in mind as a transfer fee for Bellingham are unattainable for Real. Nevertheless, the club is willing to spend more than 100 million euros for the coveted midfielder, who has a contract with Dortmund until 2025. “Sport Bild” recently assumed that sum to be the pain limit. “AS” now mentions EUR 120 million as a fee that should not be exceeded. This would make Bellingham the second most expensive exit in Bundesliga and BVB history. There would also be success bonuses, so that the total package could again amount to 130 to 150 million euros, which would even make it the most expensive export of the German House of Lords.
