“I think he will be the best midfielder in the world”. Phil Foden does not beat around the bush to qualify the talent of his compatriot Jude Bellingham. At only 19 years old, the latter has established himself as a solid holder of the English selection and he has impressed since the start of the tournament, like his magnificent performance in the round of 16 against the English. As always, the magnifying effect of the World Cup is playing full and no one can now ignore the talent of the Borussia Dortmund midfielder.
And that’s bad news for Real Madrid, who thought they were getting a good deal next summer by betting on the young man. As reported brand“ his explosion will precipitate his departure and multiply his transfer price “. This is good news for Borussia Dortmund, which, unlike the Erling Haaland case, will not have to deal with a release clause. The price is therefore very high.
The price soars
The Spanish press thus evokes the price of 150 M€ to snatch the Englishman from BVB. A tidy sum which effectively eliminates many interested clubs. Because Real Madrid is obviously not alone. There was notably Manchester United on the spot, but the Red Devils would now be out of the race, as assured Sky Sports. There remain the two English cadors, Liverpool and Manchester City.
Who says English nugget says Premier League clubs, of course. Bellingham started his third season with Dortmund last August, and here he is already with 76 Bundesliga matches under his belt at just 19 years old. There is therefore no doubt about his ability to shine in the English championship, and the World Cup has finally convinced the last reluctant. The current favorite in the race for his signature? Liverpool. But Real Madrid, who decided not to recruit Mbappé, made him a priority for 2023.
