The looming battle between Jürgen Klopp and Florentino Pérez

Real Madrid and Liverpool have a target in common, and they will fight until the last moment to secure his signature. The protagonist of this story could be none other than Jude Bellingham, who has managed to make space in the agenda of the most important clubs in Europe, who have been captivated by his qualities. The progress he has made at Borussia Dortmund is worthy of an out-and-out player.

He arrived without much experience in the elite, still at youth age, and after a year competing in the Championship, defending the colours of Birmingham City, his hometown team. The Germans paid more than 20 million euros for the midfielder born in 2003, a high and risky gamble, but one that quickly paid off. His adaptation was immediate, and it didn't take him long to establish himself as an undisputed starter.

He was one of Klopp's favourites, but injuries killed him

In his first season he was vital in winning the DFB Pokal and reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and in the second he continued to improve by leaps and bounds, becoming one of the stars of the team. This season he has finally stepped up to the plate, and has become the third captain of the squad, behind only Mats Hummels and Marco Reus. His personality and maturity are two virtues that make him even more valuable.

Given this, it is not difficult to understand the reasons that have led Florentino Pérez to carefully study his signing, as he is a fully guaranteed replacement for Luka Modric. The Croatian needs a successor, and Bellingham has everything it takes to fill the huge void he will leave when he leaves. An exciting and complicated challenge, however, at the Santiago Bernabéu it will not be easy. To begin with, because Signal Iduna Park will be asking for around 100 million euros.
