Real Madrid have massive €160 million transfer plan
Real Madrid appears to be targeting the best young talents from across Europe for the upcoming summer transfer window, as the club looks to write the next chapter in its illustrious history. While they have been linked with top quality players such as Josko Gvardiol, Cody Gakpo, and Enzo Fernandez, all indications point to Jude Bellingham being Los Blancos' priority next summer.
Without a doubt, Bellingham is a unique talent. At 19 years old, he is one of the best players in the Bundesliga, has proven himself in the Champions League, has captained clubs such as Borussia Dortmund, and was arguably England's best performer at the recent World Cup.
All things considered, the opportunity to sign players like Bellingham does not come along very often, so Real Madrid must make the most of it. Of course, other European powerhouses such as Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool, and Manchester United are thought to be interested in signing the midfielder as well.
According to Cadena SER, Real Madrid will start talks with Borussia Dortmund in the first week of January. Los Blancos will make a €100 million bid and will also engage in cross-promotional talks with players such as Eden Hazard and Brahim Diaz. Bellingham will be offered a five-year contract worth €12 million per season.Real Madrid has a massive transfer strategy in place to sign Bellingham.
It remains to be seen whether Real Madrid will be able to complete a deal for Bellingham next summer. It is clear that the club does not want to compete in a bidding war with the Premier League giants.
However, it appears unlikely that a €100 million transfer fee plus the option of signing players such as Brahimi or Hazard would entice Borussia Dortmund. Premier League clubs could offer up to €150 million to sign Bellingham, who is likely to get a bigger contract elsewhere as well.It could all come down to Bellingham and what he wants to do in the end. If the Englishman prefers to move to Spain's capital, Real Madrid will be at the forefront of the race to sign him.
