Real Madrid have reportedly “explored” the possibility of signing Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham, according to AS.
The Champions League winners are well stocked for options in the middle of the pitch, following the recent contract renewal of Luka Modric.
However, the futures of Toni Kroos and Dani Ceballos at the Santiago Bernabeu are very much in doubt, Los Blancos’ options in that area of the pitch may soon change.
BVB’s Bellingham has been placed on Madrid’s transfer shortlist ahead of the 2023 summer window.
The 18-year-old attacker is said to be the desired player to work alongside Eduardo Camavinga and Tchouameni, providing that the German outfit are open to a sale.
With Dortmund having already sold Erling Braut Haaland this summer, no more players are expected to depart the Westfalenstadion.
The Bundesliga giants are said to value Bellingham in the region of £85m. Nevertheless, it is claimed that the La Liga champions may attempt to sign the teenager for a fee of £77m.
Real Madrid will almost certainly face fierce competition for arguably their key man with Liverpool and Manchester United said to be keeping tabs on the player’s situation.
