Jude Bellingham’s sporting future is still completely uncertain. Real Madrid has been a hot contender for a commitment from the BVB star for months. Now it has leaked what amount the central midfielder could collect from the royal team.
According to “Sport Bild”, Real Madrid would pay the England international a maximum of 20 million euros per season.
Apparently, the reigning Champions League winner’s chances of buying Bellingham are not bad. According to the magazine, the 19-year-old will not switch to any “sheik or billionaire’s association”. Manchester City, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain would see Bellingham as “unattractive and soulless”, writes “Sport Bild”.
In addition to Real Madrid, Liverpool FC is also repeatedly mentioned as a possible buyer of the BVB star. But as the English “Guardian” reported on Tuesday, among others, the Reds have withdrawn from the race for the Dortmund player. Bellingham is simply too expensive, they say.
BVB is fighting to keep Jude Bellingham
The central midfielder still has a contract with the Black and Yellows until 2025. Staying with Borussia beyond the summer is still considered unlikely – even if BVB Bellingham has not yet given up.
“I’m trying to extend him. Why not? Jude is just a winner,” said Dortmund’s sporting director Sebastian Kehl a few weeks ago on ZDF’s “Aktuelle Sportstudio”.
Bellingham switched from the English second division club Birmingham City to the Bundesliga in the summer of 2020 for around 25 million. An investment that should pay off in full for Westphalia. Bellingham has been a top performer at BVB since his arrival. In the summer, the youngster could then take the next step in his career.
