Real Madrid are growing increasingly confident of their ability to win the transfer battle to sign Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham.
England international Bellingham was linked with a potential move away from Signal Iduna Park ahead of the 2022/23 season following on from an impressive 12 months for club and country.
However, the Bundesliga giants opted against a sale, due to Erling Haaland’s summer switch to Manchester City.
City are rumoured to be on a list of Premier League sides also interested in the 19-year-old alongside Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea.
Former German international Lothar Matthaus recently tipped Bellingham to make a Premier League move in 2023 but Los Blancos are not giving up on him.
As per reports from the Daily Mail, Real Madrid are willing to meet Dortmund’s €100m asking price – if Bellingham declines to extend his contract beyond 2025 – as they look to build a new midfield around the former Birmingham City schemer.
