Bellingham says no to Real Madrid, demands from Liverpool

Aurèlian Tchouameni and Antonio Rüdiger, the German via the free agent route, were this season's signings (plus Endrick, who won't be effective until 24/25), while Eduardo Camavinga and David Alaba, the Austrian on the same path as the former Chelsea man, represented the reinforcements of 21/22, meaning that since Real Madrid proved to the world with Kylian Mbappé that they were capable of spending over 200 million on a single player, the club have kept their clothes on, and still won. Why? Because it is waiting for the perfect player and the perfect time, which has already been decided: Jude Bellingham.

He had the option of signing more in the summer, also just a few days ago, in January, and Florentino Pérez has closed ranks around an idea: only reinforce with what deeply exceeds the current, and in that idea moves the club, which has only seen that leap in the England international, well, and in Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappé, but that chapter, which is not closed, we will leave for other lines. For the moment, we can be sure how far Madrid will go for the Briton.

Before going into dates and limits, suffice to say that Madrid and Liverpool - curiously rivals in the last 16 of the Champions League, as well as the last finalists of the continental competition - are playing for the Englishman, who is trying to decide between the two proposals (City's is more remote). That said, here is Madrid's bid, which is neither trivial nor does it leave the Reds indifferent.

<strong>Bellingham thinks about Liverpool</strong>

Los Blancos are willing to put the most advantageous salary (the highest and a little more) to the Borussia Dortmund player of the possible in the Merengue squad, which would mean moving directly to the first line of salary of the club, however there does not end the bet, far from it. Real Madrid have that 200 million ready for eventualities, will it go to Bellingham? No, it is not necessary, they believe that 130 to 140 million will do, which would raise, for example, the cost of transferring Enzo Fernández to Chelsea, for now the most expensive organisational midfielder in the world. Both strategies are aimed at preventing another Kylian Mbappé case, with Dortmund offering a better salary to the player, or another similar to that of Neymar and Barça, with the Englishman leaving for another team, which in this case would be Liverpool.
