English talent Jude Bellingham is one of the most busy players in the media regarding his possible transfer from Borussia Dortmundto another club. The player performed very well in the World Cup and was one of the best players in the England national team, which reached the quarter-finals and was narrowly eliminated by France, 1-2, in a match in which the English missed a penalty kick in the last minutes of the match.
The following are the most prominent clubs interested in signing the 19-year-old:
real madrid: news refer to Great interest from the Royal Club in the English player, which is the first candidate. Real Madrid is looking to renew the blood of the midfield, especially since Modric and Kroos are no longer so fit and cannot be relied upon in all matches. But what makes Real Madrid hesitant is that Borussia Dortmund sets great financial conditions for abandoning the player, as it asks for 100 million euros.
There is another reason why Real Madrid is hesitant, according to the Spanish newspaper AS, is that the departure of Modric and Kroos is not certain, and they can continue in the club for another season, which makes the club not in dire need of a high-priced player in the next season, especially since he signed last summer with the Frenchman Chaumeni. .
Liverpool: The club cares a lot about the player, and several reports confirmed that he wants to sign with him because of his great need for a player like him, in the circumstance in which the club declined a lot, especially after the injuries to Alcantara and affected his level, as well as the decline in Henderson’s level.
Liverpool has a reputation for buying players with high-priced deals, but what plays against the club is that it may not participate in the Champions League next season because it ranks far from the first four places, as well as the possibility of Jurgen Klopp leaving the team, who has a very special relationship with Borussia Dortmund. .
Manchester UnitedManchester giants began to return to the scene strongly after winning the English League title, surpassing Barcelona in the European League and competing for the English Premier League. And for a while He confirms his interest in the playerEspecially since he, in turn, does not mind concluding high-priced deals.
However, there are obstacles, including that the club currently owns Bruno Fernandes, who plays in the same position as Bellingham and offers distinguished levels that made him captain the team in several matches, then except for some deals concluded by Manchester with Borussia, including the Englishman Sancho, as well as the Japanese Kagawa.
Manchester CityCity was not very interested in the player before an ESPN report confirmed that he, in turn, was interested in the deal, to compensate for the possible departure of the Turkish Gundogan, whose contract with the club expires at the end of this season, as well as compensation for the Portuguese Bernardo Silva, who expressed his desire to leave.
However, the accusations against the club of violating the rules of fair play and the possibility of depriving him of making new contracts may hinder Bellingham from joining him.
