Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid are confident that Jude Bellingham will not join Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool or Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City in the summer of 2023, according to Marca.
Real Madrid confident of signing Liverpool target Jude Bellingham
The Spanish publication has reported that Liverpool, Manchester City and Real Madrid all are interested in signing Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund at the end of the season.
Madrid, who won La Liga and the UEFA Champions League last season, are ready to bid a total of €140 million (£124 million), including add-ons, for the 19-year-old England international midfielder.
Los Blancos are optimistic that, given the work they have put in to convince Bellingham that the Santiago Bernabeu is the best place for him to grow and develop as a footballer, the former Birmingham City youngster will pick them over Premier League giants Liverpool and Manchester City.
Long way to go
In our view, Jude Bellingham is unlikely to make a decision on his future anytime soon, and Liverpool could be able to sign the England international midfielder at the end of the season.
Now, of course, Jurgen Klopp’s side will have to finish in the Premier League top four, but we think that if they qualify for the UEFA Champions League, like they tend to do, then they should be considered among the favourites for Bellingham.
