According to multiple reports, Real Madrid are close to signing Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund. His stats are flawless in all competitions, and Los Blancos are hell-bent on getting his signature.
It’s reported that personal terms are almost agreed upon. The La Liga side are doing everything to bring the Englishman to Santiago Bernabéu.
Real Madrid reportedly wants to fast-track the negotiation. Because they don’t want to lose the player to other clubs in Europe’s top-5 leagues in the summer.
Of course, Los Blancos have started planning for their future. Even though they have the likes of Toni Kroos and Luka Modric in the midfield.
Obviously, there’s going to be a high level of competition in Europe’s top-5 leagues next campaign. Particularly in the UEFA Champions League.
Many top clubs in Europe are planning to gather reinforcements. The likes of Chelsea and others are expected to be unstoppable in all competitions next season.
Jude Bellingham reportedly chose Real Madrid, and some of his teammates at Borussia Dortmund are aware of his decision.
Manchester City offered more money to bring the English youngster to the Etihad Stadium. However, the 22-year-old player chose Los Blancos.
Liverpool are considered the favorites to sign Jude Bellingham, with the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea heavily interested.
However, it looks like the 22-year-old midfielder doesn’t want to stay in England. As he chose to move to Real Madrid in La Liga.
Of course, the signing of Jude Bellingham doesn’t hinder the renewals of Luka Modric and Toni Kroos. Which means the club aren’t slowing down.
Real Madrid were also interested in signing Enzo Fernández. However, Chelsea fast-tracked their negotiations with Benfica, and they signed him in January.
As a result, they don’t want to lose Jude Bellingham to another Premier League club. Because Manchester City and Liverpool are heavily interested in the player.
Many English footballers have played at Real Madrid. Bellingham will now be the sixth Englishman ever to play for Los Blancos, joining the likes of Owen, Beckham, and the rest.
Of course, Federico Valverde is a midfielder, even though he has played as a winger this campaign. That shows his level of versatility as a football player.
At the same time, Eduardo Camavinga is a midfielder, despite the fact that he has played as a left-back this season. He looks better playing from the middle.
Real Madrid are just playing to move from Casemiro-Kroos-Modirc to Bellingham-Camavinga-Tchouaméni. They are planning for the next generation of midfielders.
