While Borussia Dortmund battles for the title in Bundesliga, Borussia also battles with Liverpool and Real Madrid for the signature or Jude Bellingham. The ‘next Camavinga’ (or Tchouameni) will be a hot commodity in the 2023 transfer market and BVB want to make sure he doesn’t go away for ‘only’ 60 million euros like Erling Haaland. So, on one side are Liverpool and now Real Madrid, and on the other are the Germans, eager to tie him to a new contract, which will provide them with more than 100 million euros for their star midfielder.Bellingham to Real Madrid movement.I’m in.pic.twitter.com/sCSMPch23T— TC (@totalcristiano) October 6, 2022 But, if Real Madrid is serious, as the Spanish media are suggesting, it seems that Dortmund is fighting a lost battle already. According to Marca, Bellingham will be available next summer for around 100 million euros – which Madrid will be happy to pay for, but not more. According to the well-respected newspapers, the two parties are in an advanced talks, but Dortmund also has its separate negotiations with the player, trying to ensure one last big extension, with a release clause of 150 million. They are hoping somebody will pay that sum in June 2023 or beyond (Chelsea owner maybe?), and staying for another season in Germany would be a major coup for BVB.Dortmund do not want the Haaland case to repeat – pressure on Bellingham to extend his contractReal has the money, is the biggest club in the world and is in current process or changing the whole midfield with proven players. Casemiro has gone to Manchester United, while Luka Modric is not getting any younger, as well as Tony Kroos. The German international has not yet responded to a contract extension offer and Bellingham would be a perfect solution. Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga are already in the team, as well as Valverde, so with Bellingham, Real would get four starting midfielders for the next 10 years easily. Looking like that, 100 million euros for Jude seems like a bargain.##NAJAVA_MECA_6706503##
