Real Madrid are now reportedly confident of signing Chelsea target Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund next year.
Dortmund youngster Bellingham, who’s just 19, has to be one of the most talked about rising stars in the game.
The central midfielder has been shining in the Dortmund first team for a couple of years now, which is why he’s even captained the club on certain occasions this season.
His stock only continued to rise with some eye-catching performances for England this winter at the World Cup, too.
It’s no real surprise to see him linked heavily with a move in the transfer rumour mill.
Real Madrid confident of signing Bellingham
According to The Sun, Spanish giants Real Madrid actually feel like they’ve won the race to sign Bellingham next summer.
The report explains that the 19-year-old can select from interested buyers such as Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain.
However, it is understood that the La Liga champions are increasingly confident of bringing the Dortmund and England sensation to the Bernabeu.
Described as “freakishly good” by Jamie Carragher, Bellingham literally ticks all the boxes as a complete midfielder.
Graham Potter’s side have been heavily linked with a move for the teenager. In fact, ESPN claimed last month that Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly really wants to sign him and views him as a perfect addition to the squad at Stamford Bridge.
He would be one hell of a statement signing for the Blues if they could tempt him to west London.
However, Champions League holders Madrid hold so much pedigree and believe they’ll win this transfer saga.
