Jude Bellingham’s move from Borussia Dortmund to Real Madrid is apparently close to completion.
According to information from the Spanish sports newspaper “Marca”, which is usually very well informed at Real, the 19-year-old England international should sign a contract until 2029. Real should hope for a fee of 100 to 120 million for the transfer, but BVB is asking for around 140 million. It was reported a few days earlier that Liverpool FC and Manchester City, who were also courting Bellingham, should have dropped out.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano also reported that negotiations between Real and Bellingham have been completed and a meeting with Borussia Dortmund has been agreed. “Sport Bild” had previously reported that Bellingham’s father and adviser was pushing for an early change.
The midfielder switched from Birmingham City to BVB in the summer of 2020 for around 25 million euros. Shortly thereafter, as a 17-year-old, he was in the starting XI on the first Bundesliga matchday. To date, Bellingham has played 130 competitive games for Borussia, he has also made 24 appearances for the England national team and was also at the World Cup in Qatar.
