Real Madrid are closing in on a move for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham, with the deal described as “almost closed”.
That’s according to Spanish outlet MARCA, which notes that, after months of behind-the-scenes talks, Madrid look set to reach an agreement in principle for the 19-year-old, who will sign a six-year deal with the club. It was revealed last week that Los Blancos had sent representatives to Germany to finalise a move, after it became a two-horse race with English giants Manchester City following Liverpool’s withdrawal.
Despite Dortmund reportedly receiving significant offers from both Premier League clubs, the allure of Madrid is thought to have won over the England international, given their prowess in recent Champions League campaigns. Aside from the club’s serious sporting project, Bellingham is also thought to look favourably on their priority given to young players, particularly in terms of transfer targets.
