The media deliberately ignores that Bellingham simply has a contract until 2025 and it is extremely unusual for all clubs so far only Mbappé and Neymar have brought more than 100m transfer fee, then there were 2 Barca transfers that went at least towards 150m and then a Joao Felix with 127.5 million. Then the freaks from Chelsea with Enzo, who cannot be expected to pay Bellingham and then Barca again, who can no longer afford such a transfer.
There are only 2 clubs that are even eligible for this 150 million transfer and they are ManCity and Real. PSG could also get involved, but I don’t see why Bellingham should want to play in the French league.
And Real have never spent more than 115m and Man City have never spent more than 117.5m.
So Bellingham would already be the record transfer there, just like any club except PSG. If Kehl lets Bellingham go below 150m, he should be hunted down with the pitchfork from Dortmund and therefore Bellingham will probably stay because Real has a top-ranked CM even without Bellingham and will tend to look for a successor to Benzema and other offensive forces, although Bellingham certainly remains an option and Man City won’t see much point in changing their squad structure, especially after this Champions League season, which is great for a record transfer. If so, then stop….
To me it looks more and more like all the clubs are having talks, but rather speculating on poaching him next year and then not having to come around the corner with a record transfer.
But okay, maybe I’m wrong. Nevertheless, super exciting that Liverpool FC probably has no real interest in Bellingham, because their record transfer is just 84.5 million and why should you spend almost twice as much for a single player?
The clubs aren’t stupid and they know how quickly a transfer can turn into a flop. Bellingham is not Mbappé or Neymar. Real will certainly spend more than 100 million for players who have been at the highest level for a few years now, but not for a player who is a shooting star, but who cannot be classified so significantly higher than Camavinga and Tchouanemi that it now suddenly costs almost twice as much.
Real has such great appeal that they can make everything clear this summer and then really buy Bellingham next year and then just for about 80 million.
