It has been reported that the 19-year-old midfielder, Jude Bellingham is close to joining Real Madrid from Borussia Dortmund.
The Champions League holders have agreed on personal terms with Bellingham. Also, the work of their chief scout, Juni Calafat, has been important in accelerating discussions to this point.
The Athletic have reported that a meeting is scheduled to try to complete an agreement with Dortmund.
Although there has been no fee finalized, it is reported to be around €100 to €120 million. After the Reds pulled out of the race to sign the Englishman, only Madrid and Man City were left in the race.
Eventually, the Dortmund man is said to have chosen the La Liga giants over the PL champions.
Jude Bellingham to join Real Madrid
The midfielder is one of the best young players in the world right now. And he has been on many of the top clubs’ radar for a long time now.
Liverpool were one of the clubs as Klopp has been a long-time admirer of the Englishman. However, the Reds pulled out of the race to sign the Dortmund player due to financial reasons.
Meanwhile, the champions, Man City were also said to be chasing Bellingham. But the player is said to have opted for Los Blancos.
It would be a blockbuster signing for Madrid as the midfielder is one of the hot prospects currently.
Also, with a young and dynamic midfield of Tchouameni and Camavinga, the Dortmund man would fit right in.
Also, the former Ballon d’Or winner in Modric is one of the best midfielders in the world. The 19-year-old could learn a lot and grow alongside the Croatian.
Moreover, the Galacticos have been well off the pace in La Liga this season. They currently sit in 2nd place, 14 points off of first place Barcelona.
However, they are in contention for another Champions League trophy as they play Man City in the semi-finals of the competition.
The European champions also have another potential trophy in sight as they play Osasuna in the Copa del Rey final on Saturday.
