Real Madrid are expected to have an eventful summer transfer window as it is clear their squad needs a few additions. Thanks to that, they are contacted by a series of big names in world football at the moment. And the club's number one priority will be Borussia Dortmund's Jude Bellingham.
Bellingham was one of the best midfielders on the planet at the age of 19. He is arguably the best Bundesliga player in the current campaign so far. He was also one of England's best players at the recent World Cup.
It is believed he may be absent this summer. In addition to Real Madrid, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and PSG have also been linked with Bellingham. On the other hand, Borussia Dortmund would like to offer him a contract extension again.
However, there is some exciting news for Real Madrid. It seems that Bellingham's entourage has discussed with the club.
The superstar's father is negotiating a transfer with Real Madrid
As reported by Foot Mercato (via Mundo Deportivo), Juni Calafat had a meeting with the England international's father and agent, Mark Bellingham. It took place at the Chelsea Harbor Hotel in London. The reason was to show the player's family the project Real Madrid had designed for him.
It remains to be seen what the future holds for Bellingham. Even if Real Madrid convinces him, he still has to find a deal with Borussia Dortmund.
And some rumors suggest it will take a transfer fee of around 150 million euros to convince Borussia Dortmund to part with Bellingham. So Real Madrid has a mountain to climb to get a deal online.
