€150 million-rated Real Madrid target keen on Liverpool move

Jude Bellingham is the focal point of Real Madrid’s ambitions for the upcoming season and the years to come. The Merengues’ eagerness is understandable given that the English ace is one of the few players they have actively pursued in recent memory.

The European champions need a fresh name to strengthen the middle of the park for the upcoming season since they are unsure of Toni Kroos and Luka Modric’s continuity and longevity. The Borussia Dortmund midfielder stands out as a total package in that regard.

Despite Real Madrid’s interest, Bellingham is reportedly keen on moving to Liverpool, according to claims from Paul Joyce of The Times.

Jurgen Klopp’s men have been one of the top sides pursuing the midfielder’s signature for a long time now. However, they were said to be trailing Los Blancos as a secondary option for a significant time, as it was reported that Bellingham wished for a move to Spain.

The turnaround in the situation now could be down to the influence of the youngster’s family and the sentimental value of a return to England.

Despite the report, such statements have barely borne any weightage in the past. The race for Bellingham has been an open one from the very start, and sudden changes in tide are a part of the negotiations. As is the case in football, it is never over until the papers are signed.

Yet, the report comes as a wake-up call to all those who considered Bellingham’s move a certainty. Real Madrid will now look out for a plan B and could reactivate the option of Gabri Veiga.

Bellingham’s final call is expected as early as the second week of April and it is clear that a lot of decisions in the Spanish capital will depend on it.
