On August 30th, a bombshell news came out from As: La Liga giants Real Madrid have their eyes on Bellingham with the intention of developing him into a new generation of midfield leaders, however, they are about to encounter a fierce competition from Liverpool.
In the height of summer, the name Bellingham became the center of attention for all the major European giants. However, the transfer rumors were overshadowed by the words of Dortmund's sporting director, Kyle, who made it clear that the club would not let go of the 19-year-old English talent in this transfer window. Nonetheless, he had no choice but to admit that the chances of keeping Bellingham in the short term are slim to none.
Real Madrid will undoubtedly have an uphill battle if they want to successfully introduce Bellingham. For starters, Liverpool have indicated a willingness to pay a transfer fee of up to 100 million euros for Bellingham. Faced with an injury crisis and contract problems in the team's midfield, Liverpool sees Bellingham and Sheffield United's Sander Borg as the future core of the team's midfield. In addition, Bellingham joining Real Madrid would take up a valuable non-EU slot due to the impact of Brexit. Considering Modric's current outstanding form, Real Madrid may choose to wait until next summer to make a move. Aided by powerhouse players such as Joan Armeni, Valverde and Camarvinga, the addition of Bellingham will bring a revolutionary renewal to Real Madrid's midfield.
