- Real Madrid are reportedly unwilling to meet Borussia Dortmund’s asking price

Real Madrid are reportedly unwilling to match Borussia Dortmund’s £130 million valuation for Jude Bellingham – despite being excited about his signing.
The English star is widely expected to leave the German side this summer, with interest from elite clubs such as Real, Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea.
Los Blancos have put Bellingham at the top of their summer wish list as they continue to build their midfield with top young talent.

The sticking point, however, is that the Bundesliga team is demanding 130 million pounds for his signature this summer.
So while the 19-year-old midfielder is the club’s main target, they are not prepared to pass the rating, according to Spanish news channel Sport.
That could open the door for a host of clubs to get his signature, including Liverpool, who are keen to strengthen their midfield after a miserable start to the new season.

PSG and Bayern Munich have also expressed interest in Bellingham, but it was previously reported that he would rather move to Real Madrid or the Premier League.
Therefore players like Jürgen Klopp’s Reds, City, United and Chelsea will see Real’s current attitude as a boost in their bid to lure Bellingham home this summer.
Liverpool have been reported on numerous occasions as front runners alongside Spanish giants Los Blancos, putting them in the driver’s seat.
Bellingham’s stock could rise even further if he performs at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar
His stock could rise even further if he can perform on the world stage for England at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar later this month.
Bellingham has already scored nine goals and provided a further three assists in all competitions for Dortmund this season.
In total, he made 109 appearances for Dortmund after moving to Germany from Birmingham in 2020 for £25 million.
