Real Madrid are planning to make a bid of over €100 million (£89 million) for Jude Bellingham, a player Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool, Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United and Graham Potter’s Chelsea also want to sign, according to ESPN.
Real Madrid plan bid for Liverpool target Jude Bellingham
ESPN are reporting this afternoon that Madrid are aware of interest in Borussia Dortmund midfielder Bellingham from Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea.
Los Blancos, who won La Liga and the UEFA Champions League last season, are planning to bid €100 million (£89 million) for the England international midfielder, described as “elite” by former Chelsea striker Chris Sutton in The Daily Mail this month.
The report has added that Madrid believe that their good relationship with Bellingham’s entourage and the long-term work they have put would see them get the deal over the line.
Blow for Liverpool?
In our opinion, Real Madrid’s reported plan to bid for Jude Bellingham in the January transfer window is a blow for Liverpool.
The former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners have just signed Cody Gakpo from PSV.
Would Liverpool now be willing to spend almost £100 million on Bellingham in the middle of the season?
Would the England international midfielder be willing to snub a move to arguably the biggest club in the world (Real Madrid) and join a team who may not even end up in the Premier League top four this season (Liverpool)?
