Jude Bellingham Transfer News: Jude Bellingham is on the verge of joining Real Madrid this summer
The approaching summer transfer window has seen a number of players linked to Real Madrid. But rumours about Jude Bellingham being their main target have persisted for a while, with concrete news about the Englishman moving to Los Blancos only coming out today.
Bellingham, who is only 19 years old, is among the top midfielders in the world. The Borussia Dortmund youngster is equipped to be one of the best players of his generation, therefore the sky is the limit for him.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid and Jude Bellingham are nearly done with the signing process. The final stages of the negotiations are now being reached, and personal terms are nearly settled. Bellingham appears to be headed for Real Madrid at this point in time.
According to Spanish media reports, Bellingham is valued at €140 million by Dortmund, but Los Blancos will not pay more than the €100 to €120 million they had set out for the transaction. The amount should be near the higher end of the range, presumably. Bellingham’s pay is also probably going to be lower than it would have been in the Premier League.
Los Blancos also despatched an agent, Juni Calafat, to Germany to persuade Bellingham that following Zinedine Zidane, his hero, was the correct decision. This was crucial to getting the young Englishman.
Bellingham’s acquisition would be a significant move of strategic importance for Los Blancos, guaranteeing the midfield’s future alongside Aurelien Tchouameni, Fede Valverde, and Eduardo Camavinga for the most of the upcoming decade.
Bellingham’s decision to join with Los Blancos rather than go back to England serves to further underline their appeal to players. It might also have an effect on Luka Modric. The Croatian was prepared to extend his contract with the team, but if he is forced to sit on the sidelines more often than not, he may decide to back himself to preserve his spot, which may influence his choice at the last minute.
